I ride my ReBike in the rain, across deserts and in the snow of mountain passes on my continental trips. Spray the inside of your ReBike with framesaver and it will last forever. I use slime in my tires for all the thorns I ride over in the dessert.
Ride with a flag, a blinking tail light and reflective vest when you ride a recumbent in the rain.

Here in Vancouver, we get a bit of rain. Okay, a lot of rain.
Currently, I can stay quite dry on my DF with a poncho and booties. The configurations of bents that I have seen all look like it would be difficult to stay dry, especially with respect to having my butt so close to the puddles.
Can bents be ridden in the rain (without getting drenched) or are they fair-weather-only?
Thanks for any information.
