Today's verdict

Thunderstorms in the forecast — lightning and cyclists are a bad combination.

  • Thunderstorms — lightning and cyclists do not mix — get off the road before they arrive.
  • Pavement: wet — wet during the likely ride window — reduced braking, road spray, limited visibility to drivers.
  • 72°F air — right in road cycling's sweet spot
  • Exposed + wet pavement — on road traffic with wet pavement — drivers have less reaction margin. take the lane.
