Since most of us can only ride one bike at a time, and riding in wet weather wears your gear out, it makes sense to have a wet weather bike of lower quality than your primary bike.

Similarly having a race bike & training bike has it's merits. Not all can afford such a luxury, but for those fortunate enough it makes sense. Training bike can sit there all cruddy & abused while on race day out comes the "fresh" bike which just feels faster cause it's all clean & shinny.
I've been trying to persuade my Wife to splurge on a race bike, but she just takes her trusty old training bike to races & usually wins or places anyway. Meanwhile I'm flaunting it on my spiffing carbon wonder bike finishing mid-field

Apart from making no sense, wet weather bike implies he rides in the rain so your fair weather cyclist jibe is off the mark.
I can't work out why you would care if someone rides one bike in the rain and other on dry days?
Awesome toys Rabo

I'm telling Gina, you are obviously on more than 2 bucks a day

Yep... But it's a few years old now and the plastic is degrading... It's not so supple anymore.

You should have got a titanium one. Honestly, the public health system in this country...
