Rainy day

Grenoble is located in the middle of the mountains, which means mountains are all around, but the city itself is flat and only 200m above the sea level. This geographical configuration has its interesting consequences. Sourrounding mountains keep everything inside (and unfortunately above) the city, especially pollution and clouds are being trapped and stay. So when it starts to rain, it rains until clouds are not completely drawn.
Since the Grenoble is polluted, many people live outside and commute by car to the city and make it more poluted. That is one way to tackle the problem. The second one is cycling, which also have the advantage "no traffic jam for bikers." Since I live outside Grenoble (something like living in Zbraslav), I try to cycle every morning to university. When it is dry, it is great...
On Thursday night, the rain was pouring whole night. I was mentally preparing myself for taking bus to university for the first time, but when I stepped out of the house, around 8, I saw that the rain is kind of light, so I came back home, changed and cycled to university. Of course I got all wet including my underwear (my Burger bike does not have fenders yet), but I felt good when I made it. One incidence on the way affirmed more in doing these things.
I met a guy on bicycle towing trailer with kid behind. I assumed he was taking him to the kindergarden. The kid was calm and father seemed relaxed, like if there was nice, sunny sky above us. May-be, I just did not see that.
How should I conclude long story just about one inspiring incident? I need to get fenders, waterproof pants, keep extra underwear in the school, and keep cycling!!!
