Reply to "Measuring Wheel Use"

I have a great deal of experience in using a measuring wheel in my early days (mid 70's) before I hooked up with Ted and the AAU National Standards Committee and "saw the light".
My observations:
1. a measuring wheel tends to lose surface contact more the the bike method. The solid wheel tends to bounce more when it hits debris in the road.
2. greater difficulty measuring the SPR especially on roadways with vehicles.
3. Fatigue. Try hold that handle steady with one hand for several miles. I had always been told to go at 20 minutes/mile or slower. Try hold the wheel straight with one hand for at least an hour....not fun
