Today, I went out in a downpour and in my rush to leave with the BionX Breezer, I neglected Jose's suggestion to take the rain pants. My SmartWool leggings didn't hold up to that much rain and I was drenched and freezing. After warming up and drying off at my folks' house this afternoon, I rode home with less assist to stay warm.
For those who actually understand how to prepare for rain, I have a question: does one use a seat cover to keep your saddle dry until you sit on it or do you take the cover off with you when you go inside and replace it when you're about to get back on the bike? I'm asking for a friend...
