Ever ride in the fog? I have. Not much fun.
I am in LaLaLand -- "rain" and "cold" is different here. And I am retired, so I don't have to go out it I don't wanna.
Misty rain, not a problem. Actual rain drops start to hurt over 40 mph. Rain is a bother, but is still better than being in a cage.
Cold? I have a heart problem, a 25% ejection fraction, and below 55* my fingers get numb. Electrically heated gloves cost much for the little times I would need it, so I keep in the house until it gets warmer. (Yesterday I could ride with no jacket, no gloves, wearing one of my Hawaiian Shirts.)
Fog is FUN! 3am in the fog, no one else on the roads, what is there not to like?
