Tibike -- you missed riding this morning in the cold rain? You missed a good one. I tried to convince myself that my tenacity was making the cagers envious as I rode through puddles, car tire spray and the rain, but I don't think I succeeded.

Somehow we need to foster in the public a heroic, stalwart image of bikers who ride through rain and snow. We need to move the public from seeing us as objects of pity to objects of reverence as superior beings. Anyway just a mini-rant as my clothes dry out.
