I bike to school every day. Luckily today I didn't bring my laptop.... unlike yesterday when I also got soaked riding home from school. Today I came prepared with plastic bags. Most people here come prepared for the rain in that they have plastic seat covers they put on top of the wet bike seat so they don't get embarrassing wet spots on their butt. Usually I just suck it up and walk around with wet pants. Today though, I covered my bike seat really quickly so that rain wouldn't get on it and then sat on it immediately. Biking here is FAST. The constant peddling at quick speeds and biking against the rain make it great for getting absolutely drenched.
Another funny thing about here is that though it is always raining, it never ever storms. I keep waiting for the day when I'll see a flash or hear a boom but it never comes. I guess it rains more often but less intensely. Maybe it's like that a lot of Europe?
Proof:
** Note the back of my legs are completely dry from sitting down on my bike.
When I got home I had to peel all of my clothes off of me and hang them up. My wet clothes from yesterdays rain adventure were finally dry and I replaced them with todays wet clothes. I wonder if this will just be a cycle.... I need rain pants or something I guess.
