I took the rain bike to work Friday, not that it was raining all that hard but I hadn't used it since doing a few tweaks. My "rain bike" is a full-fairing (Coroplast) GMC Denali, kind of overkill unless it's really cold and/or really wet. It felt kind of sluggish, being heavy, but I couldn't really compare speeds since I don't have a speedometer on it and no one else was out. It's pleasant though when I get used to the lack of wind, and of course the rain doesn't impact me much. I then spent Sunday fixing up a design defect, evidently a mental slip when I built this years model, and securing some fasteners that I'd half-a$$ed put on to correct "later". I'm almost looking forward to some "miserable" weather to have an excuse to ride it now.
