This morning I would have had to bike in the dark, in a 35f rainstorm. Not going to happen.

- hedora 4y agoI've done such things. It is surprisingly not bad if you spend ~$500 on fluorescent breathable rain gear and lights. The biggest problems are leaves on the stupid green paint they coat the bike lanes with, and increased stopping distance / driver fatigue for the cars. Storing the rain gear at your destination in a way that lets it dry out is also a big concern. Being cold is not an issue at all. If anything, you will be too hot while rising.
- munchler 4y agoRealistically speaking, what percent of the commuting population could do this on a daily basis? Many people have additional limitations that also need to be considered. E.g. Have to pick up the kids after work, have to shop after work, age/health constraints, etc.
