The old thread WAS unwieldy, and I did not join it for that reason. I've been commuting for six months now and I have not once been tempted to drive!

Raining like hell today. I have a polyurethane poncho that I got for $14 on Amazon. Tried it for the 2nd time today. It kind of sucks, but did keep me mostly dry. I still did not wish I was in a car. I could not love that Retrovelo more.
