My helmet is off to all of you ladies! In the desert, if it's wet or cold, I stay inside. Luckily, we have few wet days.

Don't you slide around in the rain? Do you have special tires (that's "tyres" for Miti-M! Love your usage of the language. "Wet bottom" - too cute!)

I have a mt bike that I love to thrash around in the mud with. But it has big knobby t(y)ires & sliding is kinda fun -- don't have to worry about road rash when I biff it.
