Yes, I just had to change a flat tire on my bike in freezing rain, in the dark, about 6 miles from my house. I arrived back home a wet mess, covered head to toe with road grime, and a big freaking smile on my face knowing that I was able to get myself out of that sloppy mess without calling for help or taking the train.
