Whether my bike is clean or dirty, does not effect my route.

Just curious for all those worried about the "power lines and water".

Do you change your route to not go under power lines when it's a downpour rainstorm?

Nope. No idea whats on the other side in my way, and no idea of the condition of the road. Not worth it.

I get the idea about being concerned about what is on other side. But going slow and staying in your own lane would probably be fine. A lot of it would depend on the route. Also if you can tell where the water is coming from and wide open country, not sure I would be that worried. From the angle of this pic, there lane looks fine. I suppose a guy could swere in their lane to avoid blast. But I think you would also be able to see more as you got close.

I would be more concerned if it was standing water and deep.


Not sure why there would be a giant sink hole for a fire hydrant blowing water.

Well, for one, I don't ride in a rainstorm.

Your point is well taken, but the water pressure from a fire hydrant is probably a tad more intense then the Seattle drizzle I deal with. Those power lines on the bottom (if those are in fact power lines) are getting blasted pretty good.

But I concede, I've watched Final Destination one too many times.
