Raindrops splatter on leaves in Sun Yet Sen Gardens, Vanc., BC, 1991.
If you notice many modern bicycles, you'll see they don't have fender guards as bikes used to when I was young.
Today was miserable, cool and rainy. So, had I gone out on my bicycle, the mud from the wet roads and puddles would have splattered up and on my back.
I have a waterproof rain jacket that will just wipe off, but if it's very hot as well (I wish), then it's not wearable and so your clothes suffer, as does the skin of your back.
One of the discomforts of cycling in the rain. Still, one can get some great photographs in the rain, as you can see by my photo above, so all is not a loss. Note: I did not cycle to Vancouver, nor cycle while there. I've just been cycling seriously since 2002.
Whoops, I hear thunder.
