My view from the train in the rain on Bike to Work Day. I tried to muster the enthusiasm to ride in the rain yesterday morning, but I just couldn't do it. It was freaking pouring! And it was cold, to boot, and I don't really have anything like proper rain gear for those conditions, so I just rode the train. It made me sad, though. It's hard enough to get people to consider biking to work w/out having the one special day set aside for that purpose be a day of pouring rain. How many potential bike commuters woke up yesterday morning thinking they'd try this biking thing, then looked outside and said “See, that's why I don't bike to work!”?
