An ode to everyone who simply gets on their bike in this weather

I wake up from a raindrop on my forehead. Yesterday, the sparrows were still falling from the roof and yes, if you have doors that open to the garden, then at such a moment there is only one thing to do. A bit of a shame that the weather gods suddenly had the idea to pour down some liters of water. For the first time in a long time, I skipped my round of Vondel. Something about not wanting to arrive at the gym soaking wet, because believe me: squatting with a sticky legging on your thighs makes no one happy. Anyway, apart from that round of Vondel this morning, I mainly don't care about such a rain shower. And that's quite unique, because we Dutch are pretty good at groaning and complaining when it comes to the weather. And I think that has to stop. So leave that car, embrace that rain and see it positively.

1. We live in the Netherlands after all. And yes, it rains here 350 days a year.
2. In the past, you would quickly take off your raincoat three blocks away from school, but nowadays raincoats are super trendy. 
3. With a slipper on your foot and a skirt on, nothing gets wet, so no worries.
4. The candles can be lit again when you arrive at the office; how cozy is that?
5. Complaining gets you nowhere, at least, it certainly doesn't stop the rain.
6. Nowadays, wearing a cap is totally in. So you don't have to worry about sticky wet strands along your cheeks.
7. You don't have to shower in the morning anymore. So just see it as a free wash.
8. Men love to see you in a wet state. Ha, may it pour down again around six.
9. Hema even sells umbrellas that you can attach to your handlebars. No more danger in traffic, because your hands can just go back on the wheel.
10. The road is clear, because all those sugar people take the car.
11. And they are stuck in that rain traffic jam while you are already at the office.
12. The path to the coffee machine is completely clear.
13. Now that it's almost autumn, you can shamelessly toss that first bag of ginger nuts into your basket.
14. And order the hot chocolate with whipped cream at that meeting on location.
15. The garden hose can go back in the cupboard, saving you time tonight. Ten minutes longer Netflixing, how nice?

So people, I don't see the problem.
