My problem is that double-edged sword of living on the Wet Coast: rain. Wind. 
Stuff that ain't snow, makes some riding possible, but makes it impossible to 
do anything on a regular basis.
Like yesterday, I was wisely on a bike path, struggling up a slight incline 
in a low gear. Why? I was fighting a 40Km/h headwind. Good thing I was on the 
path, because 40Km/h to the front changed to 70Km/h from the side, and I (all 
200 Lbs of me, 10Lb of clothing, etc, 20Lb of bike) were tossed a meter to 
the side in an instant.
Consequently, I'd like to know about things like skating, indoor sports and 
other things that will give me what I need during bad weather.
