Velcro Sand

There are several great things about riding a bike with fenders, but the most awesome of those things is riding through a patch of velcro sand.  Velcro sand pockets are elusive, but they are out there.  You never know if you've found one until you hear that sweet sound of ripping velcro. 

A deposite of sand may end up velcro for one bike and nothing for the next.  It's all about matching tire tread to sand particle size.  When you get that perfect match-up, the sand sticks to the tire just long enough to be lifted up and deposited against the bottom of the fender, causing that velcro music.
