Mine takes to the rain like a duck, but I think tires play a huge roll in it.  Just remember, the middle of the lane (where cars drop grease and oil) is the slickest, especially for the first hour or so, so ride in the car tire paths, and watch out for the painted lines......they're slick as ice!

Viola and I were out in the rain today and there were spots when I put my foot down to check that were very slippery. the traffic was heavy with lots of stops, maneuvers etc. I had to go out for a dentist apt etc as the cage is in the shop. My question is ......Viola was a dream to handle in the rain !! Is it what has been done to the bike that makes it that way  a combination of mods , tires,  or is this bike good natured in the rain when it was born. I'm almost looking forward to another rainy day !
