I was excited to ride to work today in the sunny spring weather. Then I saw the wind forecast. No thank you, I'll pass. I ride directly into the wind on my commute home, and am completely exposed the whole way.

Edit: For people who use proper units, 43 miles/hour is 69 km/hour.

I will not ride in the rain. I had a traumatic incident with wet brakes when I was quite young and while I know intellectually that properly maintained brakes still work when wet, I just won't do it.
