I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don’t own a car, so that’s probably more distance than I’ve covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.
Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.
I can’t really not go to work just because it’s raining. Not only would it fuck over my coworkers; I need the money.
It’s not like I’m made of salt, anyways :P With a raincoat and rain pants it’s really not that bad.
I’m amazed how many people, even daily cycling commuters just don’t know about rain pants. Couldn’t live without them personally.
