[mkl]

I'm talking about a 10 minute 4km commute, not a multi-hour trek (which doesn't sound fun to me in any weather). I really do find it fun, and I really do only get my hands and face wet. Gumboots, rain pants, rain jacket, backpack cover, helmet cover: no way to get soaked or even damp.

In Perth Western Australia my commute is about 25km. and at best a little over an hour to ride by bike down the bike paths along side the freeway.

today it was 25 deg C at 6am and over 32 deg C at 5pm when I would have to ride home.

I'll ride it every now and again, but honestly its too much to do on a regular basis.
