I've been doing a fair bit of riding in - only the couple days of rain in the past two weeks kept me from taking my bicycle (I took the bus instead). However, before you think I'm being a wus, I just got a good deal on some Planet Bike fenders this weekend that fit nicely onto my road bike and that's what was holding me back - 27" wheels kick back a lot of spray!
I also geeked it out a little with a small cycle-computer (Filzer DB4L) a rear LED/blinky light and finally got the rack mounted so it wouldn't come loose on bumps and slam into the rear brakes again.
(more about my geeky add-ons when I get more batteries for my camera and can photograph them)

The weather was very nice yesterday, but overcast on the ride home and I was expecting it to start pouring - but it waited until late at night and was raining on my ride in this morning instead. The fenders work awesome, and are well worth the $20 I spent on them. Since the blinky was new, it was a little overcast last night and I can't reach it while riding, I switched it on as I left work last night. Nearer to home another commuter rode up beside me to tell me how bright it was and that he'd seen it from quite a ways back - which made me happy. We chatted a little then went our separate ways.

The ride in this morning was wet, but I enjoyed it. I left early since I had no idea how much longer it would take me to travel the 20Km (aprox. 12 miles) to work with slippery roads & muddy paths. I spent almost the whole ride on the inner chain-ring to keep my traction, but the trip only took me an extra 15 minutes. I packed a separate change of clothes in my back-pack which I wrapped in a garbage bag before strapping it on the rear rack. Everything arrived dry, I changed - so I'm dry now too.

I wasn't the only one, either. I saw quite a few people out on their bicycles this morning, not as many as usual but I was travelling earlier too.

All and all a nice start to the week.
