Yeah I got caught a few times. I just dealt with it, and really didnt think it was that bad. The thing that sucked was that it kept "raining" even though the rain already stopped. I didnt realize until I stopped at a red light.
All I had on my eyes were riding glasses with foam edges and I could see pretty good. I guess it helps to have a big caveman brow sticking out there like a gutter...haha.
I always had an idea of a fold up front fender made of canvas that stored away under the bike and could be installed under and overpass on the shoulder.
