Riding in the rain sucks but I'll take it over driving (infosec.pub)

I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don't own a car, so that's probably more distance than I've covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.

Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.

Rain jacket and pants all the way for me, I arrive to work perfectly dry other than my shoes and socks. Just have to change into the pair I keep at my desk.

Guess you throw out clothes a lot. Rain jackets are never water proof more than 10 years.
