I check the weather before I leave so that I am prepared for what lies ahead and what they forecast for the way home. If it is going to rain I will wear my Shower Pass Elite rain jacket. I may also use a skull cap under my helmet in the fall when the rain is a little cooler. For the really cold November rain I will use a helmet cover. The rest of me gets wet but I really don't care. I keep extra clothes at work always. By the time I leave most things are dry, except maybe the shoes. I also wear gloves on the cold rainy days.

As for the bike I do nothing. It gets wet and it goes in my storage locker wet when I get home. My theory is, it is just a bike, nothing more. I clean it about every two months if I feel like it. I never let the weather dictate if I ride or not, I never make it a choice. I ride my bike everyday, that is it. Sometimes it is nice other days its miserable but at least I am riding.
