Riding my bike in light rain is actually pretty fun, especially after that hot and humid spell.

Riding my bike crosstown through center city rush hour traffic, however, is a deal breaker. I actually skipped out on plans with a friend because the wretched journey was sapping my will to live. I'm sure if I'd stuck with it I would have eventually found an eastbound street (or sidewalk) that wasn't packed, but after multiple attempts and almost getting into a fist fight with some idiot driver, I was done.
