I'm a commuting cyclist, so I got rained on some this morning (Wed. 10/05) and from the looks of it, I may gets lots more rain on the ride home. On the bright side, my rear rack-trunk serves as (kind of) a fender, so no mud-stripe up my back. Plus, I did bring my Giordana rain jacket, so I shouldn't suffer too much.
Very true what idoru2005 says about white painted lines on the pavement, Super Slippery When Wet! Be extra careful!
