Hi. I ride all year long in all weather, in rainy Seattle.
Rides: Honda Rebel, Honda Helix
(I'm currently shopping for something with a tad more horsepower. Probably a bigger cruiser, as they seem to handle wet roads better than sportbikes. Center of gravity, fork angle, and such.
Gear: (I live in rainy Seattle, so my gear is.. geared... for dryness and warmth)
Helmet: HJC modular & balaclava
Jacket: Tourmaster
Gloves: Klim Element leather, with a 2nd pair of wool underneath on really cold days.
Pants: insulation, jeans, pullover waterproof pants.
Boots: dexter waterproof
I don't own a car, so the bikes are my only form of transport. Ask me anything!

Cool. Lane filtering as you called should deffinitely be legal. as a cyclist I know it keeps me safer. Im from California so split away when you ride here! Just do it at a reasonable speed compared to traffic flow. I asked the question cause a bike did a suicide split on me this morning when I was in my car. Splitting lanes on my right goes behind me and splits on my left all while going way over the allotted 5 mph difference. Had to change my pants.

Wow, what a douche. Glad you're alright.
