What did we learn over the many years when it started raining while out riding our bikes, if you do that sort of thing?

1) You will get wet, stay that way, get out of the rain or don appropriate rain kit and continue.

B) Your "stuff" will get wet, let it, get out of the rain or fit water resistant luggage and continue.

III) Your bike will get wet, the tires will fling a toxic mixture of water, automotive drippings, animal waste and herbicides upon you. Get soaked in wet filth or fit full fenders.

4) Wet roads reduce traction, ride accordingly.

e) Rain reduces visibility for all road users, ride accordingly and improve conspicuity.

Proceed, riding-in-rain-action pic attached.

Does LCF actually need a Primer on the basics of operating a bicycle as a mode of transportation in non-Bluebird weather? The BF sub-forum Commuting is dedicated to the practical considerations of getting here/there on time in a variety of weather conditions on a bicycle. With considerable practical experience, hardware reviews and 44,620 posts on the subject to peruse Commuting is a resource . Take a read, post a question on the subject of "Rain" and participate in the threads. Or pretend that operation of a bicycle in LCF-mode is somehow Unique, one or the other.

That being said a thread on any bicycle use at all however basic is a welcome surprise in LCF-land.
