Imho riding in light rain is great. Breathing is better, cars go slower, less people, it can be relaxing too.
The only "it sucks" part is having to wash the bike afterwards
... You're supposed to wash your bike afterwards?
To me another suck part is the rain drop directly hitting my eye and also make my visibility worst with the raindrop on my glasses. But yeah it's quite nice riding in light rain.
Try wearing a shor-billed cycling cap under your helmet. They work great at keeping eyes dry while still being able to see.
I like riding in the rain. But really only for "fun". Not when i have to go somewhere
