Turn bike in the rain is not much fun, but sometimes you are forced to do so. So let's see how a bike should be equipped urban wet weather to make the trip more comfortable and secure as possible.
base from which party is the classic city bike from a supermarket which has undergone substantial changes over time as the components available on a bike from 99 € sucks and sooner or later be replaced with better parts quality.
Let's look at the parts that I consider essential to build a good bike from rain. First there are the wings to be wide and winding like those series. I also added the rear of each wing 2 appendices taken from a plastic bottle to catch the spray even more troublesome. Excellent result.
The braking system consists of two original was horrible v-brake levers and calipers with resin, and when he started to kick the bucket I found in a cantilever mounted at the front offer up an online store and rear hub with a coaster brake. The latter in case of rain, snow or mud is just phenomenal compared to a conventional brake acting on the rim. Hold back again without hesitation and does not need maintenance. The only downside is the lack of scalability, but since the rear axle nailing every now and not a big problem. 
The transmission is a single speed with Raport 42-20. Definitely short, but considering the tonnage of the vehicle caused by traffic and the constant raise of canned is more than usable and if there is a little rise so much the better. The absence of a hand lever or gear brake levers on the right handlebar allows to hold the handlebar with one hand and possibly challenge the umbrella for shelter from showers and more violent. 
And then there's the issue of lights, in case of rain, when the windshield is fogged and dirty plays a key role. The Lucette led to a running clock with a battery used for little more than the figure: to be seen is something very bright. So I mounted the front two spots on the handlebar and the rear 5 LED light 5 led to a roof rack and a 3 with a central half-watt LED on the seat tube.
The result you judge ... The urban setting, with regard to the wings, I opted for a configuration less Inas, easily removable, but also allows not to get too in case of the wet. This is an mtb rear fender that attaches to the seat tube in minutes. It is clear that the effectiveness is not that of a full wing, but in emergency cases, doing his duty and keep the seat dry. Given the size and utility, I decided to keep it mounted.
