Today compared to last night where I rode through a torrent of rain for the 23 miles home was pure heaven... sun was out birds were chirping, I was able to coast through any sidewalk or stop light I came up to without stopping... locked the rear tire for my first time ever commuting but managed to stay upright and not wipe out but it certainly got my attention. i just not used to taking corners at high speed on cycle tires... my motorcycle certainly would not have had the trouble as it is well... significantly heavier =)
