As predicted, it rained on my trip home. And why should I care? I was wearing my hiking boots which turn out to be fine for bike commuting. My winter coat is overkill but it has "pit zips" to help me prevent overheating. As I was riding, I was pleased to discover once again that riding in the rain isn't always unpleasant. I rather enjoyed it, especially since the bike routes I took were slightly less busy. Some clearly opted to travel by other modes, but around here, it never goes to zero people on bike paths.
