Heavy downpours as Winter Ocean storm fronts come ashore the cape was Perfect. I live with water on 3 sides oftown..

and as I have a single grip shift I dont have to see which gear is next, they are sequenced in the IGH.

no gloves are water-proof and breathable , covering my hands with the cape draped over the bars worked

Hub dynamo lights mounted low so the cape doesn't drape over them
