So this morning I biked up the Interurban Trail to the Tukwila Sounder station. About a mile from the station a couple people warned my that there was water on the road up ahead. I said thank you and keep going. I had a train to catch. With in a half mile of the station there was about an inch of water on the trail and I went through a section that covered my feet as I pedaled. That wasn't too bad. When I reached the road that the station is off of, I can see I crew of workers and that the roan is closed. I pulled up to a worker and asked how bad the sidewalk was ahead (I was about a hundred yards from the station). He said " You can try to go through if you want." That was good enough for me! So I took off down the sidewalk, the water was about a foot deep, some parts were flowing pretty good. Then it started to get deeper and deeper. Soon, when pedaling, my feet never left the water. At this point I figured it was best to get off and walk, since I couldn't see what might have been washed on the sidewalk. So I hopped off, threw my bike on my shoulder and started wading through. The water came halfway up my thigh. There was a van stuck in the middle of the road. I made it through and bike the remaining 20 yards to the station.
My tights had gotten soaked. But were actually quite warm. My feet were an other story. So Am-Fib tights, a great addition to bike commuting because you just never know when in your commute you'll have to wade through a small lake.
