Just what does a 60% chance of rain mean?

I'm not a big fan of biking in the rain, although being around 90F
today I sort of am looking forward to it.
It means that the forecast location has a 60% chance of getting a
trace of precipitation during the forecast period. Above 55F or so,
getting wet from no salt rain is preferable than sweating from rain
gear.
