Being a newcomer to commuting. my question to you veteran commuters is how do you plan for mother nature? Any particular website that you trust the most for the forecast (weather.com is what I use), or do you tune into the local news? Any kind of weather you will absolutely not try riding in, or risk riding in? Ever been stranded at work or on the way home from the weather turning bad? I can handle some wind, but too much is a deal breaker, and I also avoid water on my bike at all costs.
