Rainy Days

Traffic in Cardiff hasn't been too bad at 7.30 in the morning over the last 2 weeks that I've been cycling. So why after a bit of rain (and it IS only lightly drizzly, if that) does the amount of early morning traffic increase so much? Is it because people drive more slowly in poor conditions? (Fat chance round here). Is it because people have been walking and cycling instead and are now put off by the weather? If so you really would have thought the people of South Wales would have some decent waterproof kit as we're renowned for our rain.

I don't know. It's a regular phenomenon though. I'm glad I still cycle when it's wet. If I drove I'd be stuck in the same traffic as everyone else.
