I don’t leave it outside. And the roads here are not often salted. But yes to all the rest. I suppose many on this forum might consider the idea of an all rounder anathema. But when you’re taking kids on vacation, multiple bikes for each person is not in the realm of possibility. I don’t expect it to do everything perfectly, just to be fun to ride almost anywhere and not miserable in the wrong conditions.
