Guest Blog: A little rain trumps a big automobile
Dear Fellow Riders,
Monday brought a lot of morning mist to our commutes. I like to boast that my daughters love nothing more than riding in all conditions and at all times...

..the truth is, they can protest. On rainy days, they beg for us to use the car. Sometimes, we do. But if the rain lulls or it's just a bit of mist, we ride. The girls like to use an umbrella if it's misting. On Monday, they were tipping it back, drag-parachute style and I had to pull over and caution them to "stop that or we'll go home and take the car to school."
Their behavior improved and, mist-or-no-mist, we made it to school.

I think it is great that you are having fun with your kids and that you are teaching them to be tough and responsible.
I have a Free Radical on order and I am considering putting it on a Bianchi Milano. Would you reccommend it?
Thanks,
Patrick
