It was not raining when I started for work today. It was not supposed to rain till 8:30 AM. A cool 1.5 hours after I normally reach work. Half way into the ride it started drizzling. 3/4th of the way and it started raining. Oh well, thankfully I have fenders, so my backpack did not get drenched.
This was my first commute in rain. I do like riding in rain.

Why would one cover a bicycle?

I don't know as all of our bikes sit outside in the rain ... we'd laugh at anyone that would cover a bike up.
