Rain, snow, even bitter cold (we don't have excessive heat here). Some days were miserable and I made warmup stops at 1/2 mile points when well below zero, but most were enjoyable. Yes some were just 'meh'.Frank Krygowski <frkrygow@sbcglobal.net> writes::-) Can you describe the typical person in your area who *has* to ride to work?

You have also told us that when it looked like rain you just didn't

to work. Nothing wrong with that -- Do what makes you happy, but please
realize that you have eliminated the data points that might have shown
improved braking to be useful.
As most people do. Which is my point.
Ah, so your pronouncements on braking don't apply to people that
actually *have* to ride to work? I suppose there isn't much to argue
about then.
I'd say that in my area, it's a low income person riding a BSO that he bought used. The bike is absolutely nothing fancy or very desireable. Yes, in the past couple years it might have disc brakes, but until then it did not, yet those people rode.
I'm well known for my utility riding, but I'm not the most dedicated in the area. That title goes to a married couple living maybe two miles from the university, where he was a professor until his retirement. They always did almost all their utility transportation by bike, and he biked to and from work about 99% of the time. Conventional rim brakes, of course.
