Depends on the rain - I have to walk in it once on campus anyway, so may as well get my boots and raincoat wet and keep the bike dry if it will be an all-day deluge. Shorter rain is different, and if the bike is already on campus with me I'll ride it home (unless it is a real frog strangler). I commute in regular clothes, fwiw.

I figure my clothes will be wet anyway (and I do have a coat and umbrella), so may as well skip the extra drivetrain cleaning.


All day rain seems to be rare enough here, though that it has only happened once in the last semester. A longer commute with a change at the other end and I'd ride through it.
