Epicycle, I was out nearly every day in the snow. It's the thick gloop that just scores your chain/cassettes etc up that I get fed up with.
I wouldn't take a derailleur through that sort of muck either.Here's my solution:
Low geared singlespeed.
Jeez Did you steal Noddies mudguards.

Here's a picture of a road that used to be part of my local loop.

Maybe on a motorbike, but not on a pushbike. The Yak got a new roadbike that he wanted to show everyone but he got banned again.

Wheres that.?
Wheres that.?
I'm going to guess at the hills just outside San Francisco - Mount Tamalpais National Park somewhere.
Watch the Tour of California if you want some stunning roads. 🙂 Easily the match of anything Europe has to offer.
Right now, mountain biking is on the decline and road biking is on the up, give it another 10 years and it will have reversed.
Road bike clubs just seem to be better organised to me, mountain biking is more social, but road is more serious. That's the way I perceive t anyway.
Not forgetting many roadbike club's chaingangs. A hazard to any other road user.

....Jeez Did you steal Noddies mudguards.
Yeah, but I was out riding my bike when no one else was, and staying dry and clean. 🙂
LOL! Chaingangs, especially dangerous if you are an unfit porker...they will **** you up.
Funny how you perceive a chaingaing to be a hazard, when in reality it's a group moving at a constant steady pace and effort and at a constant position in the road and is about as highly predictable you can get in a group.
Group of blokes chin wagging, having fun on the way to the next BW on the other hand?
Most slow moving hazards have an orange flashing light. Maybe the chaingangs should get special lights on their helmets.
riding bikes is baaad, no, goood, no, baaaad, no Oh I dunno. I'd say, if you have to buy a magazine to figure it out.. you're not riding enough bikes!
Two wheels good. Four wheels bad.
I'm an excellent driver.
Please don't feed the goat...
Are you on any prescription medication?

Panoramic Highway on top of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County. Used for car commercial shoots all the time. Great road, stiff climb to get to it.
