Really, truly, horribly north of Scotland wet and as I was leaving the house, my 4 year old looked at me earnestly saying "Dad, take the car". I feel the need to instill in him the sense that you can ride a bike anytime so I replied "Ach, its only a bit of rain. And it's boring driving cars."

It was really wet but I have got good panniers and a decent shower at work and weirdly enough, I saw more bike commuters today than any other day all summer.
