What do you do when you have to go to the store and it is raining? Do you have a plastic bag you put over the seat or maybe cover most of the bike?

Now, I generally look for covered areas to park, but when I lived in Vancouver (BC) I used to carry around one of the big clear garbage bags. It would cover up the whole seat and on two of the bikes, even the little cargo bag behind the seat. They fold up really small and can be snapped just about anywhere on the bike using a small bungee cord.

I usually just sit down in the cold, wet puddle. A couple of my wimpy friends carry around a plastic shower cap that stretches over the seat base.
