Biking in the rain
Do you bike in the rain?
What do you adjust or change when you elect to rain ride? Clothing? Distances? Routes? |
Should we volunteer such information to you when you haven't shared that yourself? You go first.

What would Che do? :twitchy:

This feels like a marketing survey.

Change: I have a rain bike which is a basic SS with full fenders. It's a fun splashy experience!! |
Yes x 4

Is there some sort of prize for the person who starts the most threads?

It does follow the "when x, there is..." formula for topic sentences. And yeah, the detectors all say it's AI. Mstate is messing with us. |
Raises the question--what happens to a sock puppet riding in the rain?

And water doesn’t spray into your face due to the lack of fenders, but I’m sure you know that. |
Goggles? I usually take my glasses off in the rain. Can't see otherwise
Unless it is cold "rain gear" is a waste of effort as well. One just gets soaked to the core anyway, either from leaking or sweat. Better off just wearing standard biking clothes and enjoying the ride. You will dry out eventually. And yes, I've worn gortex and the like, still silly trying to stay dry while riding in the rain. Paint strips on the pavement, ho baby, that is something to fear. |

I avoid riding in the rain, but if you ride long distances like I do, you do get caught in it from time to time. |

A new low, even for you, which is saying a lot.
