Nothing keeps you warmer in than rain than smugness. On yesterday's ride home I pulled up next to another cyclist at a light.
"Think you'll make it home before it rains?" he asked.
"Doesn't matter," I said, "I've got rain gear ready!"
Two miles later it started raining. I pulled over, donned my rain cape, and 90 seconds later I was riding again, passing a couple of wet, unprepared riders.
I may not be fast or stylish, but I am slightly dryer.
