I am still off the bike because of that problem with the tram line. So I am commuting by public transport and its a wet day. One thing I noticed cycle commuting in the wet was the number of stupid things which people do which have absolutely nothing to do with the weather. One day I got cut off twice by drivers who seemed to belive that the water falling from the sky absolved them of the responsibility to look out the front window when driving.

Today coming home on the tram the driver was constantly braking to avoid cars moving on to the tram line. It was much worse than normal. Then there was this guy trying to cross Clarendon street without waiting for the pedestrian crossing..If he had waited his hair might have gotten wet or something, so for that he risked his life.

So I have a request to make. I am not even going to bother asking people to take extra care in the wet. Just take normal care. Ignore the water. Its not that important. Cats and dogs are not living together. Turn on your wipers and behave as normal.

Thanks.
