I've been getting more rain gear along, including: waterproof saddle bag, rain pants, rain jacket, *fenders*, waterproof messenger bag, and proper lighting for rainy conditions. I also keep a platic bag under the saddle and put it over it if it's going to rain.

am I missing anything? is their some secret that bike commuters use to not get wet?
Don't forget your shoes. I use waterproof walking shoes. If you use clipless pedals, they have these booties you can pull over your cycling shoes.
