Yay, I get to start the thread today!
I rode my commute in to work today. I do the half commute thing (drive in, bike home, bike to work, drive home) and today it was the ONLY reason I biked. Had I had another option, I would have used it. It was totally foggy and the roads were wet from overnight rain. I added an extra blinky light and headed out. Luckily, traffic was very light so I never really feared for my life at any point.
It was wet and gross and slimy though. I have fenders, but I learned today that the front one needs to extend futher forward to really protect me. By the time I was half-way, I had to wipe off my light and my computer because they were covered with road crap! Then I hit the area where there is a lot of construction and the mud on the roads made a total mess of me and my bike! I was never so happy to get to work and get in the shower! My coworkers were pointing and laughing (sort of). What an adventure!! :)
