After a 10 mile morning commute in the pouring rain I learned . . .

My Novara rain resistant jacket resists water for about 35 minutes. :eek:
Hail stings! :eek:
Riding in the rain makes you feel like a kid again. :D

riding in the rain is the best, especially when it very rarely happens and it's an extra treat after a long day at work or in my case at the moment, school :rolleyes:

The other day I saw a guy riding in the rain with one of these on his bike and I must admit I was a bit envious. http://www.bakfiets-en-meer.nl/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/bike-rain-roof1.jpg

Smurfette, that is cool and uber-dorky at the same time!

bikerHen rocks! Or should I say 'hails'!

I bagged my commute when after waking up I heard it pouring rain. Then it turned to snow. Later in the morning it was hail, then pouring rain again and then more snow. Oh well...tomorrow is another day. I can't bring myself to ride in the rain to work. I will ride home in it, but I don't want to start my day in it...I have really become a weather weenie:D

I kindof have the same rule. If it's really raining in the morning i don't want to ride. but if it is forecast rain and it's not raining yet, I will ride to work with full rain gear in case it's raining on my way home.
