Default Does anyone ride in the rain because they have to?

Hi Guys
I woke up this morning and thought oh here we go again as it was torrential rain and just kind of had to get on with it and ended up at work like a drowned rat but soon dried off within an hour and reapplied the makeup, lol
But then again at 5 it was chucking it down and it was here we go again but so much better coming home I had offers of lifts home but did not want to leave my bike overnight and some couldn't understand why I would contemplate riding in it? Well it certainly didn't bother me on the way home as a lot easier than on the way there.

I do have water proofs but I guess they are not the best as my trousers get wet around the knee bending area where I pedal and it must just penetrate in this area.

It's just that I notice many less bikes on the road/cycle paths when it is raining and just wondered It would cost me £10 to £12 on a taxi each way and am not willing to pay that too often.

Any ideas on keeping drier would be good
