Rain is a reality when you're commuting, and something you have to deal with anytime you have to get from here to there in a certain time frame. it's not something you want to deal with when you're out riding for fun. It sucks!
If you don't have internet on your phone, invest. It's nice to pull up animated radar and see whats headed your way. Sometimes, you can skirt around it, or make a decision to hit a restaurant to wait it out... or just head back home lol

Advise from a Bennie!
Gotta harden up their brother! I've been commuting for the past month on my bike up north here. Managed to do the ride all but 1 day because of rain (it was just to cold). Besides, I hear that the weather is much warmer down south there!!

It helps when you use Rain X windshield wiper fluid along with their wiper blades.
Sorry, I belong in the touring section but link was broken so it brought me here. I usually try to be helpful but have spent a lot of time in the rain and lately working nights it really sucks so I sympathize with ya....

Ahh the joys of riding a bike
Don't know what's worse, getting you butt wet or having to clean the bike again...
At least you got some rain, we haven't had any rain in over 6 months, makes for great riding but everything is burnt and brown.
