Bikes: Tourer: Bilenky Midlands, ca. 2002. Road: Voodoo Bondeye (Scandium); Travel: Trek 950 steel, S&S coupled, 1" slicks; Folder: Swift Custom Aluminum, ca. 2004; generic Chinese Carbon; plus a few more

Wear a cape! The cape is waterproof, but the bottom of it is open, so whatever you're sweating is sucked away by the wind. I'll combine a cape with a temperature-appropriate jersey or layers, waterproof rain paints and shoe gators. I spent days pedaling through France a few years ago in this getup. Truly crazy hard rain might overwhelm a cape, but then you shouldn't be riding, anyway. You should be drinking a cup o'coffee instead.
