Quartiere Ortica, #Milano, in una giornata di pioggia ci vuole un po' di colore! #Milan, in rainy day, a beautiful painted building with many colors helps a lot! #cycling #bike #bicycle #bici #bikeToEverywhere #bike2everywhere #biketooter

I have had the rain poncho for quite some time, and it saved me more than once.

But when it happened that the rain got heavy, I got my shoes and ankle completely soaked. And it was not funny 😏

So I bought a pair of light decathlon overshoes (I think btwin overshoes 900).

Today we had some serious rain and I was able to cycle 7+7 km without getting wet (excluding my face…) and without sweating (this is the real advantage of the rain poncho in respect to waterproof jacket+pants IMHO).

The catch is that where I live there are rarely strong winds, except during thunderstorms (but then I would avoid cycling into a thunderstorm anyway…).

What is your solution for rainy days?

      Thank you! Low cost solution 😁

      It is a lifesaver: the fender is too short and I found myself over and over with a mud line running vertically along the center of my back 😏

      I don’t know why they designed the original rear fender so short!
