Rain Bike*

Santa Clara, California

I ride my bike every Sunday, rain or shine. Sometimes, when I am putting on my rain gear, I ask myself why I'm doing it. The answer comes immediately: "It's what I am."

Part of the crank has been worn smooth by my heel rubbing against it as I pedal.

Great image. What about rotating it 180 degrees so that the writing is right side up? The upside down label is distracting for me.

Hi Garrett. Nice picture! I also feel very identified with it (although I don't like to ride anymore under the rain after two crashes).
