I got stuck in some rain on the way home from work yesterday (thanks awesome weather forecasters
) and it made me think of posting this. When it comes to riding in rain, I really feel uneasy when any kind of turning is involved. I get this paranoid feeling that the wheels are just going to slip out from under me at any given moment, and I get a tendency to tense up a bit, like I don't want to lean the bike very much. I also am a hawk for painted lines and manhole covers when turning, which I guess is good but it's all I see, I end up looking down at the road instead of where I'm going. I really have no reason to be so paranoid other than a lack of experience in the wet. usually if it's going to rain I leave the bike home. I mean sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do, but I avoid it when possible. So, short story long, I was wondering if anyone had any wet weather riding tips for not only me, but maybe some others who are wondering as well.
