Fairweather Cyclist

I’ve been doing a lot of reading about bicycle commuting lately and so many of the sites I’ve been to really encourage biking to work, even in bad weather. I’ll admit that I’m a fair weather biker and the decision to bike or drive to work is made as I lie in bed and listen to the forecast.

Problem 1 – for the most part the weather guy is wrong. “Risk of thunder storms”… I drive to and from work with my arm out the window in the sunny weather.

Problem 2 – right around 4:30 (when I’m finished work) we tend to get really frightening thunder and lightening storms.

Anyone else have trouble with that?
