I usually drive once a week to bring in clean clothes and food for my fridge, as well as take home dirty laundry, so I was due to drive. Plus, I'm not one of those cyclists who like to ride in the rain. As a matter of fact, I hate it.
Showed up at the polls this morning on my bike in light rain. Walked right in and was back on the bike in 5 minutes.
The reason I didn't vote early is because the early locations were out of my way, and in hard to cycle to areas. Worked out well, as the regular location is right at the front of my neighborhood. Everyone I know whovoted early had an hour wait. I'm not sure what happened today.
Definitely got more than a few odd looks with the bike and spandex, but I wouldn't have driven up there if you'd paid me.
