skittles_of_SDC 0 #1 March 18, 2010 I've been told it's quite a bit but I can only find average amounts not average number of days per year. I ask because my car is a piece of crap and I cant take it with so I have to ride a bike to and from school which if there is a lot of rain could really suck. And if it's really as humid as people make it out to be I better get some gold bond for the boys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LadyDoc 0 #8 March 18, 2010 Yea, you can totally tell what time it is based on whether it's raining or not during the summer time. Mosquitoes are horrible. humidity is a killer. But, like the Captain said, the worst thing is the old drivers who should have relinquished their licenses back in the 50s but still drive and assume that, although they pulled out in front of you (going 50+mph) you'll stop for them happily. If you disbelieve everything because we cannot certainly know all things, we shall do much-what as wisely as he would not use his legs, but sit still and perish because he had no wings to fly.-JL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

futuredivot 0 #12 March 18, 2010 Every time I took my rig with me on a biz trip it was raining the one afternoon that I could end the day at a DZ-except once at ZHills-it was just 30 mph winds there You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #14 March 18, 2010 Just arrange your classes so that you're inside from between 2-5. And yes, if you don't get wet from the rain, you'll be went from sweating if you're bicycling between May and November.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captain1976 0 #15 March 18, 2010 Figured he meant Bicycle when he said Goldbond, not motorcycle! Actually over 700 bicyclists are killed in the US every year and bike injury stats are under-reported, because the police often don't even bother to write up a report if the cyclist or bicycle isn't seriously injured. I pass these bikes all the time and wonder if they realize they're trusting their lives in several ways; ex: seniors, drunks, shit drivers, and worst of all, skydivers on their way to the DZ You live more in the few minutes of skydiving than many people live in their lifetime Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remster 30 #17 March 18, 2010 So you're going home in the rain? Who cares if you're wet when you get there! Do be extra vigilant on the roads tho.

aresye 0 #20 March 18, 2010 In the heat of summer, early morning, late evening, afternoon, and every other time of day is going to be humid. Even opening your door at 5:00AM is like getting blasted in the face by a sauna.Skydiving: You either learn from other's mistakes, or they'll learn from yours.

skittles_of_SDC 0 #24 March 22, 2010 Once my parents figured out how much it would cost for a halfway decent bicycle they decided to just fix my car. (yeah they cost that much) So now I'm gonna have a whip. A really shitty one. but one none the less. At least now when I'm at a bar down there I don't have to be like "Hey girl, how bout you hop on my handlebars and we go back to my place." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
