ugh rain

ok this is the start of my 3rd week with my new job. ive been planning to commute but had a few other things to work out first. like how was i going to haul all my stuff as i couldnt ride in my work jeans ( way to fat as of yet) and i had no place to store stuff at the shop and with this bunch of jokers i wasnt going to leave anything that i couldnt lock down. so i just got a trailer make and have everything set out to ride in this morning. well we were expecting rain last night ( and the radar showed it coming fast) but it slowed down now and is taking its jolly sweet time going anywere now, So my ride is now set back untill tomarrow hopfully

Keep us updated! I'm sure that once you start the commute by bike you'll do it in all weather! Good luck!

Get your bike kitted out with fenders, rack and pannier bags, it sounds like you will need them.

well my trailer should hold everything for now its a lockable storage tub attached to a conduit frame. i think i can do better on my next trailer i build. when i got it done i gave my cousins kids rides around the trailer court the most weight it had was around 100 lbs. the tire rubbed a little on the tub with that weight but that tire is also not true so it didnt rub all the time just enough to be very annoying.
