Some of my happiest bike memories involve sheltering for a while under a bridge or doorway and listening to the rain and thunder as the storm rolls over.
One time my grandson and I took shelter under a park gazebo. A grizzled guy joined us, sipping out of a paper bag while we played silly word games to pass the time. The guy didn't say one word to us the whole time, but when the rain ended and we rode off, he yelled after us, "Nice chatting with you guys!"
