I ride into work as much as I can. I can park the bike inside to and thats cool.
As for rain, it always rains at 5 PM. when were getting out of work. A quick thunder storm and then it's over. New Jersey is funny like that. But sometimes the drops are as big quarters. I carry my rain gear cause it sucks being wet.

I ride to work every day- 70+ miles a day, all year round.
It's my wind therapy. No matter what the day brings, the ride home seems to turn it all around. By the time I'm a few miles down the road, all is well again.
Only time I won't ride is if the monsoon storms in summer are looking heavy duty. I don't mind getting wet here & there, but the heavy monsoons can be deadly to ride in. There have been a few times where I got caught in some nasty ones. I just try to find some cover to duck under & wait it out.
There's a point with inclement weather when it becomes too damn risky to ride safely. Not so much from the riders abilities, but more with the damn cagers seeing you and/or them driving appropriately with reduced visibility & reduced traction.
Hell, even on a good day most of them are brain-dead.

How many guys try and ride every day no matter what the weather is ?
I work 12 hr shifts so it leaves no time @ night for a spin and i ache to ride, but the rain here is every other day it seems and i hate leaving bike out in rain as its always slept in a garage . i get out Sat/Sun but its not enough
Riding in rain don't bother me... but leaving bike out in rain does ..

I'd go F'n mental, get antsy just thinking about that.
By about the 3rd day, I'm ready to climb walls if I can't get some miles in.
