Anyone else ride in the Rain?
 
Three weeks ago I guess my bike passed the water resistant test because I road 5miles each way in a pouring RainStorm.

Today after a weekend of inactivity I just couldn't resist commuting to work 5 miles in a light rain.

So I was wondering does anyone else that doesn't have to [I have a car] ride in the rain.

By the way I kind of enjoy the experience of seeing the world with rain as opposed to being shut in a car.

I do after a large rainfall, while its still drizzling. It is fun to hydroplane in puddles.

I commute every day, in all types of weather. That's why I have a 12 year old car with 106km on the clock. :thumb:

My office is in my home but my wife commutes year around on her bike, which means frequently in Seattle's rain. It really bothers her if she has something come up that prevents her from riding - she loves it. FWIW, her bike is not electric.

Of course I was many times in rain , pouring rain tipically 1/2 hour in rain .
rain gear and rain-proof ride is a key.
here is my summer rain-proof ride:
