-but see those with flat backs – estates and vans etc – notice they are always disgusting on the back and in winter the muck has a white tinge….
True, but the car does 20,000miles a year (and doesn’t get washed), and doesn’t dissolve into rust.
The bike does maybe 2000 miles on the back, and get’s washed (at least occasionally), and similarly doesn’t dissolve into rust, if it’s wet on the bike rack it’ll probably get washed off by the mud on the trails!
Even if I was overly worried, it would be no worse than riding on the road.
Ah one of those who can’t use mirrors
Ahh, one of those van drivers not aware of their blind spots……..
