I've ridden to the grocery store, and done a 50k ride where part of it was in the rain. But this was the first real commute to school in the rain and it wasn't bad at all. All I did was just take a little extra time this morning making sure the bike was ride-ready, re-secured a hole on my back fender with a zip-tie and put some tape on my helmet (learned the tape trick on the forum here). I just wore some sandals, quick-drying shorts and a gortex jacket I had left over from my time in the army and once I got to class and toweled off I was more wet from sweat than rain.

The only thing I did mess up on was that I have a headlight/taillight combo that has a rechargeable battery and my taillight was dead, so that wasn't cool, but I put a reflective belt on my bookbag, drove on, and hoped for the best.

Oh, I also lined my bookbag with a trashbag.
