For those of you unfamiliar w/Seattle, Unixpro's commute is considerably longer than mine (around 17 miles or so one way vs. only 10 for me).
Also, to be clear, one of the points of my post was that a stormy ride has now become almost routine for me, and not that challenging. The right gear makes a big difference.
The thing so funny to me about the offer of "help" was that I had just been reflecting on how comfy I was out in the wind and rain when I got the offer of a lift. It's actually the second "wanna ride" comment I've gotten from a motorist in the past 10 days...
