					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Funny all over the rest of the world this is not a problem. &lt;/i&gt;

Well, it has been a problem in the Tour de France the last couple of years with crashed resulting from wheels getting caught in train tracks.   I would say those guys are pretty good riders.

The problem is that you have to cross tracks at a 90 degree angle.  Anything else, you risk getting your wheel caught.  The smaller thickness of the wheel (as in a road / racing bike) the more likely you are to get caught in the tracks.  

I&#039;ve ridden in places where there are streetcar tracks and you have to be very careful or else you will fall.  I have ridden in packs of hundreds of people and when a track crosses the road, the riders will yell &quot;track!&quot; to warn other riders.  

Unless the people want to change the laws of physics, they have to be more aware of riding near tracks and crossing them.]]></description>
