The Problem with a Gravel Driveway

I grew up in a house with a gravel driveway.

As a kid, a gravel driveway was kind of a bummer. You can’t skateboard on a gravel driveway. Nor can you play hockey (my sport of my youth), rollerskate, or ride your Big Wheel.

The problem with the gravel driveway is that it’s uneven, loose, shifty, and sharp. 

But you sure can approach the driveway at mach speed on your bike, slam the brakes, and leave long, dusty skid marks.

Maybe you can’t coast or glide , but you can kick up a cloud of dust and leave your mark.
