I've found that the best thing for keeping DRY on a bike is not a raincoat, but a rain-poncho. What I do is put the poncho on under my helmet and stretch the...
I wear either a rainshield jacket or a Jackson-Gibbons jacket. The rainshield is cooler even without venting, but it is acquiring venting with age (I've had it...
Ready for another comment? This time of year, I wear a REI rain jacket that has zippered vent under the arms. That usualy kept me warm enough without getting...

Man...what a brutal day for a ride. 20 mph winds with 30-40 mph gusts. Since I ride a north south route it was directly in my face the whole way this morning,...
I use a clear plastic rain jacket that I got from Performance for $5.00. I bought it 2 sizes too big so it goes over me and my pack as well. When it's both...
Hey Frank, glad to hear you are still stateside. I figured a gator sailor would be using a garbage bag, that's what I used to use!!!!! I think balaclavas are...
I found some "bull's eye" tape in one of our spaces so being the resourceful sailor slash biker that I am, I applied pinstripes of this material on my bike's...

My favorite gripe is the left turn signal that *never* recognizes bicyclists and therefore do not change when we are in the lane. We blow the lights and endure...
