wet wet wet. Also, I can't get my brakes to stop squealing (I keep toe-ing them in, and have toed them in so much that I have started spreading the V's so I can toe them in some more, and it's just not stopping). Anyway, between my brake lever getting floppier, the squealing when the brakes do engage, the rain, my wipeout (albeit on a rubber mat) the last time it was raining, and my glasses (fogged on inside, water drops on outside), I was riding pretty tentatively.

So, wet and slow. Usually I wear my bike clothes for a while while I cool down when I get in, this am they were wet enough that I was getting actively cold so changed earlier than I otherwise might have. Wish I had remembered to pack my rain hat for walking upstairs to the other building for coffee.

On the bright side, during my 'warm-up' ride to school w/ kindergartener, he asked for his own orange reflective vest so cars could see him too.
