My local condo facists are at it again - they installed speedbumps without
warning.  Boy, I tell you, those drag races in our neighborhood were really
getting out of hand.  The, oh, .1 to .2 miles of straightaway really gave
rise to some high speed dragging.

Speed bumps are a pain in the suspension for sure, but ours are
particularly bad - I scrape them (occansionally) at 750rpm in first gear.
At another development I can ride over them in 2nd gear without hitting
those.

Is anyone familiar with fighting speed bump installations?  Should I get
measurements of the height?  Are there any state (Maryland) regulations?

Please help my poor undercarriage!!!!
