I live in a small cosy shed cottage in my boss's garden.
His wife came round yesterday evening, quite late, 22.30 (just as I was looking for my over-shoes and waterproofs for today's commute) to ask me if I wanted to borrow her car.
I asked her what for. She looked at me as if I was mad, and said, 'well it's raining heavily, and it'll be raining all day tomorrow [it was] and I don't think you should cycle to work!'
I reassured her that it was fine, and perfectly normal for cyclists to commute to work (only about 7 km) in all weathers, given the right equipment.
She gave me a sympathetic, but withering look, as if to say, 'well, I'm not going to say I told you so!'
A very kind offer, but just shows that a lot of people don't understand or appreciate what cycle commuting is about!
