Best thing about commuting in the rain

Not having to walk through the wall of smoke to get to the bike racks at Waterloo Station.

I quite enjoyed this morning's commute.

I could have got the train to work, but chose to ride in torrential rain for an hour.

To those that did the same, I salute you. STRONG!

I got a wet behind

Also, when the rain is that heavy, everyone gets soaked. Lots of people walking into the office with wet trousers, socks etc. I had a lovely warm shower and then put on nice dry clothes

I wish some days that every cyclist in front of me also had mudguards. Today was one of those days

On wet days we get cheeky peds putting their bloody coats in our drying cabinet.

Yup, an hour and a half for me. Uber torrential, rain hurty face type rain.

Hope you chucked them out Fossy.

Looks like I picked the right weekend to eventually rebuild my old frame into a working 'B' bike and fit mudguards to it

Traffic's always busy on rainy days so it's extra satisfying zipping past the cars on the dual carriageway. That said, it's a lovely day up here today.

I enjoyed this morning. Wetter than expected but I haz brand new waterproof jacket FTW.
Also - I had the Camden segregated cycle path completely to myself!

I did this yesterday. I've spent the last few months spending too much money on weatherproof gear not too! Now to work out how best to dry stuff at the other end without fellow office users getting grossed out.

Whenever my gear gets a soaking (which is always pretty rare...oddly) I try to remind myself how I would feel if I went to the loo to find some guys soaking wet sports wear (and underwear) steaming away on the radiator.

I think I can can count on one hand the amount of times I've been drenched this year and am lucky enough to have a dryer at work. I quite enjoy riding in the rain if I'm honest an you enjoy the shower and coffee more at the end

Your final winter investment! As long as you wash your kit every night all you get is wafted washing powder, and it also heats up the room. Merely a PC type fan and tiny heater. I know most people won't be allowed it but I have to say one of my best cycling investments!

This evenings commute home was the 22nd rainy ride of the year out of 330 commutes.
Much drier then last year where I had 45 over all.
Sorry, I keep statistics of these things.
