Riding a bike in winter is the test that separates the committed from the fair weather cyclists. Yesterday Seattle experienced a "pineapple express". We got soaked by over 2 inches of rain. There's been a few landslides but today it was warm and sunny from around 11am to 2pm. Sure, the ground is soggy but riding after a downpour is sweet. Here is my tourer Sir Gulliver parked by Larsen's Bakery, a local Seattle gem. they're doing a roaring trade in their famous Kringle a pretzel shaped puff pastry and almond paste treat. If you keep your bike oiled and inflated, you can grab a ride at moment's notice. Great for the spirit in dark days of winter.
