If your bike is gonna get damaged by biking through a little water then you need to get a less-fragile bike.

Yup, bottom bracket and possibly hubs. Maybe want to drain the frame if its steel. Don’t go crazy with the hose, high pressure water is no good for bearings.

If you don’t know how to maintain a BB and/or hubs, now would be a good time to learn, it’s easy!

Go get your bottom bracket looked at. That’s the thing most likely to be damaged by being submersed in water.

Not only is your bike done but you are probably going to die.

Or just put some pegs on the back and give R. Kelly a lift.

Yes, it is.

The drain to the bay symbols are for awareness, not to throw used car oil or paint products into sewers ,because it goes out to the bay.

Are you kidding me – those are all over the place in SF… you’ve never seen the crab pic by a drain in SF?

You generally only see those outside of SF.

They do drain to the bay after going through a treatment plant. During a big storm though the treatment plants get bypassed, putting street runoff and sewage directly into the bay.

In major storms it drains to the Bay – or doesn’t drain as the case may be. Most of the time the storm drains go to sewage treatment plants.

Wow! So what’s up with the “Drains to Bay” stencils?
