If it's reasonably warm, I really don't mind riding in the rain with fenders on. I've commuted in 45-35F weather in the rain, but it was pretty miserably as I don't have a 100% waterproof set of gear. Any colder and.. well it wouldn't be raining now would it.

Ah the old days, downtube shifters. How about nail-in cleats on your leather soled bicycle shoes!
How bout wool pants, lace-up shoes, plastic handlebar tape, sew-ups!....... oh ya leather lining!

I live in the UK, so this is wrong hobby if I don't like bad weather
. I also have two young children, so biking time is limited & when I do manage to get some free hours to ride, I don't care if there's a hurricane outside, I'm going for a spin!

I do bike in the rain because I just don't have a choice, from the town I live in there are no good bus connections to the town that my school is in so I need to bike about 30 KM ( 18.5 miles) a day towards school and back. I own a Giant metro CS 3 which is good enough for me.

About 40 minutes to school and another 40 back, but if i'm not biking alone it totally depends on who is biking alongside me.

Oh right I thought 18.5 each way, but you meant 9.25 each way, totalling 18.5 a day. Probably take me about 30 mins to do 9.25 miles.
If you could do 18.5 miles in 40 minutes on a ladies style commuter bike you should be in the olympics
