Your chances of staying dry cannot be improved by buying a set of waterproof

This is a weather related query, not about how to stay dry on a
motorbike. The long preamble was just the thought process that led me
to the question. Having ridden bikes for 30+ years I am well aware of
the exsistence of waterproof clothing. Sorry if I confused you.
No problem. I wasn't confused (-:
Are you sure?

According to the note on P12 of Ballantine's Bicycle Book:
There is no appreciable rain 3 weeks out of 4. Cycling is rained off
about 15 days an year and the chances of getting wet between 8 and 9
and and 5 to 6 pm are 1 in 30.
I'd have said 2 in 24, 1 week in 4. Or is that the same thing? I was
never any good at maths.
IIRC his solution was to keep a spare kit at work that you can wear if
you get soaked. (In which case the 15 washed-out days are usable.)
