Keep an eye, or whatever, on the road. Even though it's been raining for a bit there are still some fairly oil laden areas out there. Delta Park was particularly bad this morning. It's usually bad, but this time it was really slippy.

Yeah, I was surprised riding home last night just how much the roads looked like soap suds. You don't think about it as much until you're on a bike I guess!

not last wednesday but the wednesday before I was riding home from my friends house in downtown and I started slipping sideways down the crowned road. the arrows that indicate lanes (which are useually a bit slippery) were slick as ice.

not enough to make me feel like I was gonna wreck but enough to make me pucker.

Yup! Also watch out for metal parts such as connecting concrete to bridges in corners. I ride the ramp from I-5 North to 217 almost every day and the part where it connects is in a corner. Even though I slow way down to 40mph I always slip a little, I've learned to straighten up the bike at that point in my turn then continue on in the corner if I don't want to scare myself.
