I’ve never given much thought to getting through rain on a bike commute, preferring instead to just power through the downpours. But I thought I’d spend some time figuring out a better way. So here is my journey from fairweather to rainready urban bike commuter.

Here's the Vaude rain poncho I ended up buying: https://www.vaude.ca/en/product/cover...
(Note: I say in the video that Vaude is a Canadian company, but I was mistaken. It's German).

Here are two other cycling rain ponchos/capes that are, by most accounts, very good:
