Man I hate peer pressure! You guys suck!

Fine, I just went out and lubed my chain and put plastic over my sponge of a saddle (recumbent) for the 38F and light showers commute tomorrow morning.

My past commuter was equipped with the works including fenders. This spring I went to the dark side and purchased a recumbent and have no desire to ride a wedgie again. Therefore, I stripped my commuter down and gave it too my wife. I only have one bike that I ride and I don’t want to put fenders on it, so I told myself that I was going to be a fair weather commuter... Based on conflicting schedules I can only ride to work on Mondays and Wednesdays leaving me the option of cutting my mileage way down or sucking it up and riding in the wet.

This thread came at a good time to convince me to go for it… but I am dreading it greatly! However, as modernjess said:
