Man, my inagaural ride on this bike saw the roads FLOODED...I was riding through two a foot and a half of water at one point, praying my mechanic did a good job of locking the deraileur hanger on their and that it wasn't going to be shot...

But hurricanes are fun to ride in. I learned my lesson very quickly: When the winds are over 40mph DO NOT GET OFF THE BIKE! I almost got blown off the bridge (I was 175lbs) because I didn't want to get blown off the bridge with my bike...If I go down, my bike doesn't have to be sacrificed! Yeah, the wind goes around you on your bike instead of attempting to go through you when walking/running.

Hey! How many people get offered rides in the rain? I've had three people (one guy went out of his way to make two u-turns to get to me) to ask me if I would rather ride in a nice dry/warm truck instead of being in the cold/wet rain...the responses when you say, "No, thank you, I'm having too much fun but I do appreciate your kindness" are hysterical! "You freaking lunatic!" and the like...all kindly given, not said in a mean way like the people who honk and pass...
