I've ridden in the rain before, but this is the first time I left for work when it was already raining. I welcomed it. I enjoyed it. My bike is not in my office yet. It's in an uncarpeted part of the building dripping.

I still need fenders though...

This is the first time riding in the rain with my clipless pedals. It was nice to not slip off of the pedals. However, when stopping, I had to be very careful, as the cleat slides against wet road with oil slick very easily. It would be less of a problem on an upright bike, but a recumbent makes you put your leg at a weird angle to lean.
