"cycle fast enough to not get hit by any mud" thrown up by the backwheel.

This made me wonder if it this is possible.

Discuss please.

it's bollocks. ever seen the paris-roubaix race?

 

[Kovu]

No. Can't be.
Unless a certain mudguard hater is faster then the speed of light.

 

[alecstilleyedye]

maybe he's that slow that the mud doesn't fly up…

No matter how fast you go the muck comes at you from the front wheel into your face, and the road stripe up your back.

 

[dan_bo]

Nah it is possible, you'd just have to go faster than yourself.

Is the only possible answer I can think of

Only if you're on a large treadmill and go fast enough to take off

Now that was the sort of response I was looking for. None of this dismissing it out of hand!
