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 rain-ready urban bike commuter.

Here's the Vaude rain poncho I ended up buying: https://www.vaude.ca/en/product/covero-poncho-ii-2/ (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: Cleverhood: https://cleverhood.com/ The People's Poncho: https://www.thepeoples.co/collections/hardy-range
