If you ride a bike with me for longer than 11 seconds you will hear about how much I hate riding in the rain. Heat, cold, wind, I can handle, but rain makes me lose my bananas. Very strange when you consider that I once made the decision to spend a season racing in Belgium, where a fine day means it is only raining a little bit.
I was caught in the rain on my big Sunday ride, and after a solid hour of cleaning my bike on Monday, I got covered in water and road grime again on Tuesday (it actually never rained on me, but the road was soaked).
Sometimes a blog is a good place to have a whine, which my friends, is exactly the purpose of this post!
In conclusion, here are the reasons I hate riding in the rain:
- Rain makes your bike all wet and dirty.
- Your clothes get trashed and need ultra washing to get them clean.
- Your shoes and helmet get wet and take ages to dry out.
- Rain makes the wind much colder when it blows through you.
- There is an increased chance of crashing.
- Cars have trouble seeing you in the rain.
- Rain is shit.
