Seen a few places in UK where they have short sections of that wooden bits they cover it with Chicken wire as we call it . No stopping if you started sliding on that.
The trail builders have used chicken wire on some of the steeper skinnies we have around here but tend to avoid it as much as possible, Crashing on it is like crashing on a cheese grater on your legs and arms!

Yeah…our nice weather let’s us wear our E-Speedos more often while riding.😉

I don’t like the chicken wire on small bridges. Aluminum expanded metal can be helpful but it’s very expensive. A cross-hatch pattern on a flat bridge surface is almost as good as raw-split-cedar.

Either way …slipping off a bridge sucks. A taco rotor or a face-plant is not a nice result. 🥲

Your not alone this week anyway , out today first since Monday. Cycle wash bike welcome to winter eh
Similar here, one bright side was that the torrential rain continued so the bit on the road back to the house actually cleaned most of the crap off so it only need a light towel off to get it back into an indoors acceptable (If you live alone) state of "pretty yukky". If you don't live alone it would still fall into the category of "Don't even think about bringing that in here".

I ceramic coated the frame so the dirt literally falls off.
