that isn’t definitely just asphalt heaving up. they put in speed bumps around here with similar geometry just by layering asphalt, and it isn’t visible in the photo where the seam would be if that were the case
I’m also of the opinion that you can’t tell if the photograph was taken from a similar elevation, or lower. if you think it was taken from a lower elevation than the top of the speed bump in the lane that the camera is, then yeah it’s got to be heaving. but I don’t think that with this perspective it can be ruled out that the photo was taken from on top of the adjacent speed hump
When suspension on a car is fucked the car doesn’t get shorter. Springs set the ride height and are just coiled metal, but shocks are full of fluid which can leak leading to a sloppy ride and the inability to properly absorb bumps.
In this case, it’s the height of the front bumpers off the ground. As someone who has a BRZ which was even lowered for awhile these drivers need to get over themselves and stop bitching that they can’t have the entire world built to serve them and their fully voluntary choices. What’s next, complaining that nature is woke because it makes driving my low, RWD car slightly more difficuly?

You have a weird way of saying ‘more fun’. Biking in the snow is much more exciting than biking during summer. Yes, I’m Danish and have a death wish, why do you ask?
So that speed bump is sentient? How would it differentiate between an expensive car and a beater with shitty suspension.
The bump is inside the wheel base, so the shocks won’t carry it. And luxury cars tend to be lower to the ground.
Although you tell from the photo that the asphalt there has heaved up, so I doubt it was a purposeful change to the road.
