But wouldn't it be easier to block the rain somehow?

Something like "rain chaps" might work, but it's weird and still quite wouldn't be what I'm thinking of.

Or an umbrella or something attached to the front of the bike, more like a windshield, that would cover the knees.

I saw videos of entire coverings from places in Europe, more like a clear sail that wraps over the entire rider, but that's too much.

Most of the time I know when it's going to rain, so quick adding something to my bike would work. I'm thinking either an attachment on the bike or some kind of clothing (without it looking too weird though).

Any ideas?
