I ride in all weather, even through the Colorado winter. I have two dedicated commuter bikes. One is a 35 year old ten speed (that I have been riding since it was new) with a rack, fenders and a big mud flap in front and fender skirts on the rear. The other is my "ice bike". It is an old mountain bike set up with big knobbie studded tires, a rack and mtb fenders. It regularly gets to double digits below zero F in winter. I use a lot of ski gear to stay warm in those temps and I have insulated handlebar covers that fit my heavy ski gloves inside.
That said, if it is a downpour when I am about to leave the house in the morning, I may be tempted to take the car.
