I dipped in yorktown, the water wasn't an issue, the sand most definitely was. My bike "clicked" everytime I turned the pedal the ENTIRE trip Fortunately the ipod drowned out this noise and I got used to it, but it was something I could have done without

Tho, one I got the Pacific, I didn't care and I took my bike in up to the top of the pedals lol, was worth it !
