I know a lot of people use a beater bike of some sort for foul weather commuting and I totally understand that, but there's just something satisfying about having a well-tuned machine that's comfortable, reliable and pretty much down for anything.

This morning was 36F and raining, the kind of weather that makes you look out the window and question whether you really want to spend 45 minutes riding your bike in this slop. My resolve has been a bit low recently, but my car is in the shop so I had no choice but to HTFU. I rarely regret making that decision anyway, and today was no exception. I have the clothing to manage the moisture, and my commuter was purpose built for riding in the rain. Despite the cold and the wet, I honestly enjoyed the ride.



Who else has a rain bike that they love to ride? Let's see 'em!
