Riding in the Rain: A Pragmatic Response

[pdedse]

I started feeling a little panicky and on-edge as I scrolled through your photos and saw the grime on your bike...relief flooded back over me when I got to the last one, world order has been restored!
: )

Nice reminder for wet riding. Our roads in my area of Oregon get regularly washed with rain most of the year, but then we have dry months from July to beginning of October, and then yep, gotta be careful with those first rains. And painted lines! I once made a turn on to a side street where a school was, and the painted school crossing line was thick, about 2.5 feet wide...very uneasy to feel the rear tire slipping out until it caught pavement again.
