When It Rains, It Doesn't Always Pour

Sometimes the most fun you'll ever have on a bike is riding with good friends on a flat slab of concrete. It forces you to get creative, it's fun, it's simple. Whats crazy about riding to me is the way it sucks you in, its constantly tugging at your shirt. When it rains it just makes you want to ride even more. Sometimes that makes you appreciate the next day of riding more then the last; sometimes you just ride anyway, even if it means finding a flat pad with a roof just because its the only dry spot to ride in a thirty mile radius. It reminds you why enjoy riding; its pure, its a good time, and that you don't have to ride, you just want to so bad that you will despite the rain. Sometimes thats better then riding even the best street spots, nicest park, or sickest set of trails. Last week Mike and I filmed one such occasion. Song is "It's Gonna Rain" by the Violent Femmes. Enjoy the video, enjoy bike riding.
