We've had fantastic commuting weather lately in NC. Morning lows in the mid-50s and afternoon highs in the 70s. The week before last I bike commuted every day, but last week I could only ride once because I had to work in another office that is much farther away and lacks showers and a place to store my bike. I'm back in my regular office this week and hope to get back on my biking schedule, if the weather allows. The forecasts are very iffy the rest of the week, and I don't like riding in rain. All of you commuters who lapse rhapsodic about riding in the rain, I just don't get it. I've tried it, and don't like it -- the rain is messy, makes it hard to see through my glasses, your clothes get soaked, drivers don't see you as well, and it's a pain cleaning up your bike afterwards. I admire you rain riders, however, for gutting it out.
