Riding bike in the rain turned out to be one of my favorite things when I figured out how to not suck at it. Ponchos are no good. Waterproof coats and pants make all the difference.
If anything is a challenge, it’s high winds and places with harsh winters. What we really need is more economical enclosed vehicles that bridge the gap between bikes and cars.
Any waterproof thing I wore, also trapped heat underneath and I’d be so sweaty by the time I arrived anywhere that there was little point to me wearing the waterproof garment in the first place.
High winds and snow/ice are really troublesome, but I always appreciated cold (even bitter cold) weather since I’d sweat less.
