This morning it was raining and pretty windy. Just put on the rain cape and went. The only time I'd let rain stop me so far was when we had the remnants of a tropical storm come through. Even then it was mostly the wind that kept me in.

The human Johnny has to be pretty humanly mellow.

Ridding in the rain isn't all that bad if its not to cold and if you are reasonably careful. While you are ridding in the great outdoors you can think of all those cyclist indoors on there trainers.

I see you got the Felt! Congrats. I would say you got a really good deal. Don't listen to these clowns wanting you to ride that Felt in the rain. I will not ride my Felt (or Cannondale) in the rain! Never. That is what my Jamis is for. Time to save up a few hundred for that rain bike now.

I've ridden in the rain twice in the last 5 years. We have over 300 days w/o rain here in Austin, so there's really no reason to do it for me.
