Some years ago I actually had a job where I could ride BART to work and then
walk a mile from the station to where I worked. After a couple of years
I would walk even in the rain after I discovered what those crazy limeys
knew all along -- an umbrella is the best way to remain reasonably dry
without getting all sweaty.

Using a bit of this idea and looking at a European commuting bike we see
fenders and lights. Add to this a rain hood and you are in a much better 
position to ride comfortably in most conditions.

So you only have to drive to work a dozen days a year.
