There's no need to shower after my ride. It's like killing two birds with one stone!

So have you ever ridden naked in the rain? Does that feel like going for a naked swim?

Riding in the rain is fun because it's a heck of a lot better than not riding. Around here there are only two types of riders: the wet and the weak. Of course just like anything else, you have to know what you're doing or you're a danger to yourself and those around you.

No. I hate riding in the rain. I'd rather be soaked in sweat on trainer. Too much stress watching for cars, slippery spots and wash/lube all bike after it.

I like riding in the rain because I know that I won't be buzzed by any Harley riders on my favorite roads.

No one wheel sucks me without permission in the rain.
In the rain no one waves at other riders or expects it in return.
Sunglasses over or under the straps seems so abstract.
And cycling chicks in the rain? What's there not to like?
