Hi Soggz, I don't ride in bad weather.
I won't spend much on this bike. One of the lucky things about down under is that you can be fussy about the weather conditions and still ride every week. I don't ride in bad weather, predicted bad weather, if the road is wet, rarely in city traffic and rarely during peak kangaroo hours. I ride when the temperature is between 15 and 30 Celsius, first out of respect for the bike, but now to look after my body a bit better. There are plenty of deer up the bush but very rare on bitumen roads.
I spose down under from us (New Zealand) is better again, no kangas to worry about. I wonder if they have any wildlife that's a danger on the roads, I've often thought it would be a good place to tour by bike.
