This drives me nuts. We barely get an inch of snow and the goofies in Baltimore County are throwing salt everywhere.
Then you have to hope for rain to wash it all away which can take a while. I still ride in it but I wipe my bikes down after a ride. Just warm water and a paper towel. I also only ride a few miles a day. Less than 10.
