I still have to go to work when it's raining, so yes. I'm not car-free but it turns out that humans do not dissolve in water. You couldn't prove that by the attitudes of some people who see me arrive when it's raining. They can't seem to believe that someone would actually intentionally get wet.

It's actually quite enjoyable to ride in the rain. When it's warm, it's pleasant. When it's cold, there is rain gear.

Hail is kind of unpleasant. If it's more than dime sized I'll wait it out.

Freezing rain is interesting. If you have rim brakes, it might not be a great idea to ride in it. An experience with it led me to insist on disc brakes on my new foul weather commuter.
