It is difficult to appreciate the usefulness unless one has tried it yea ;) Ortlieb back rollers do the job of keeping my work clothes warm and dry and I forget about them when I am soaking in the rain. It is great to use products that you don't even think about and expect it to work. What I dislike about rainy days is wearing back the cold and damp clothes for the ride back in the evening. Damp shorts and damp socks sure do dampen my spirit :( Don’t ride a bike without fenders / flaps. It is difficult to appreciate the usefulness unless one has tried it yea ;)

Also, mudguards are a must otherwise its no fun getting that line up your back. I love riding in the rain, so long as I get to change into something warm and dry later.

Learned to live with it. I keep my bikes in good working condition, oil them once in while. But usually don't obsess over keeping them stain / scratch free. Dirt, I feel, gives the bikes a nice aged look :) heh. Learned to live with it. I keep my bikes in good working condition, oil them once in while.
