We get 4 inches of rain annually. Clouds are scarce here. And if I was somewhere where it rained often, my bike would still sit in the garage.

I know you get little rain there. hence the comment about moving to a place where the weather changes rapidly.

If I left my bike every time there was a chance of rain, I'd have like 50 miles on it.

A three-year-old bike with 1,633 miles and the bike only saw rain twice. Was the bike in Seattle?

30% chance of rain today. I rode. Any higher chance I'm not riding. Not because I dont want the bike to get wet...but because I don't want to get wet.

Apparently there is a 20% chance of rain here today...although there is not a cloud in the sky.

As long as I can make it TO work dry, it's not bad. I can deal with riding home in the rain...

And cleaning a soaked bike sucks balls. That dirty water gets EVERYWHERE.
