Riding in the rain can be fun because you feel like a little kid, but the most important thing is to keep moving so you stay warm.

Fenders are incredibly helpful, not only your butt will not get wet, but your feet will be drier although eventually will get wet.

Fenders when weather is dry will keep your bike much cleaner as well.

Ride smoothly, no hard/harsh moves and be aware your brakes will take longer to stop, and may grab.

I will not start a ride in the rain, but often will get caught in it during the winter months.

Cars may not see you as well with their windshield wipers on, so bright blinking lights will help.
