I do need a rain bike. I've noticed that everyone here rides straight beater bikes. Everybody. I hear it's because bike theft is bad.

For now, I just ride to work and back, and I can bring my bike up to my office, so my Tarmac is OK. But, not for rainy days. I bought fenders, but couldn't get them to fit. So, yeah, I'm in the market for a rain/commuter bike.
