![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also...does anyone actually care if a bike has been rained on? Doesn't your bike get wet when you wash it? ![]() There are always a ton of spam ads in that section but they usually make some sense. ![]() |

all my bikes have seen rain.
I try to STORE them out of the rain and elements, but I've ridden in the rain. Hell, on Thursday I almost got caught in a tornado! ![]() |

Me too... less the tornado part... Hell, on Christmas day I got caught in a torrential downpour... five months later when I removed my handlebars, I poured about 1/4 cup of water out of them. That was pretty cool.

I care a lot. And I never wash my bike with a hose and water. Did it once...never again. And my bike looks clean as fuck when I'm done.

We get 4 inches of rain annually. Clouds are scarce here. And if I was somewhere where it rained often, my bike would still sit in the garage.

If I left my bike every time there was a chance of rain, I'd have like 50 miles on it. |

A three-year-old bike with 1,633 miles and the bike only saw rain twice. Was the bike in Seattle?

I never take a hose to my bike ever. But I rub it with a diaper after every ride. I try not to ever ride in the rain, but I got caught in a downpour on the new Gix on Friday. I was soaked all the way through my gear. My hands still have a purple tint from my black leather gloves bleeding on them.
