Riding in the rain

[Milzy]

It makes me feel alive.

Yes, of course, I don't have a car and live in Scotland!
Not even snow stops me, got ice tyres

@Retribution03 here is a little table I made just for you (ignore the the negative), these are the number of days I rode and it rained in each of the months I have before Nov but its in a different format.

Dry cycling only, rust n cacked up parts sux, i'm also a vampire :/

even through all that I can make chains/cassettes last up to 8,000 miles, its not difficult.

[QUOTE="Retribution03, post: 3220589, member: 37891"]Do you all still go out when it's chucking it down? It's raining here now and when I get home I still fancy going out but it will depend if the kids want to come out too as wife is out tonight.

I try to cycle all year as much as possible. Cycling in the rain is ok, cycling in the rain with a strong headwind is a challenge that I wouldn't choose to go out in unless I'm commuting home and I have too.

I cycle in the rain and snow, pretty much have to where I live, or I'd do a lot of cycling indoors. I don't do much below 25f, though. Then I have to go to the indoor trainer and DVD player.
