Right! One of the reasons tubulars are still popular for elite level racing is that you can ride on the flat if necessary. It might not be comfortable but it's better that missing the time cut. (If not the race organizer's time cut then perhaps the one imposed by your spouse.) Cheers, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
