I had a Catrike 700 which I named "Thunder & Lightning" it was a fair weather only trike, since I hate cleaning a wet, and therefore dirty, trike. I have another 700 I didn't so name, and since I had been car free for almost a year, it was often in the rain. Maybe I should name it "Stormy" so that no rain will get on it. Same theory as carrying an umbrella to insure a fair day.
Crosswords, eh?! We may be kindred spirits. Rainy days and crossword puzzles, I totally get it.
