Uh, yeah! It is great!
Its been rainy down here in south florida all day.. people at work that know I ride have been expressing their feelings of concern for me about my ride home ...
I tell them that its not a big deal .. but they say " its not safe, visibility is low, other cars might not see you " .. etc.. etc...
This may be true, but I still prefer to ride my bike in the rain than ride my car when its perfectly sunny !
