Cycling through 27th straight day of rain in Seattle

Fenders? Check. Rain gear? Check. Booties? Check.

These guys don't let Saturday's 27th straight day of precip in Seattle disrupt their bike outing. They're heading down to the I-90 bridge bike lane to cross Lake Washington from Mercer Island.

Hardcore Seattle bicyclists know they can't let a little rain prevent them from riding. Otherwise, they could only count on about two-and-a-half months of cycling a year.

Like one cyclist commented as he passed me heading up a hill, “This keeps those Californians away.”
