Rain doesn't mean the bikes have to be hidden for all of eternity. Just prepare to get drenched form time to time.
Rain also means that there are fewer snow days to contend with here than in some places.
Also note, while it may rain a few times a week, you can often find good riding weather, even deep in the winter, especially if dates and start-times are flexible.
