I had to. It is few weeks old foto - behind me is steep gravel downhill and you see this streem in the last moment so I had to slam my brakes. One side had pretty big stones so if I didn’t check it I would end up in it.
How bad is it when you end up cycling into a pit like this, potentially at some speed? Has the water made the soil soft in the road leading the front wheel potentially getting stuck and throwing you off, or will you most likely cycle through with a significant splash and be on your way?
I guess a huge part of it might be the problem of not being able to see so well what’s under the water, in case the road has been damaged?
Do it!!!
