rain capes here. I've augmented my kit (because how geeky can one be?) with a helmet rain cover from MEC, and I ignore the hood on the cape.

Great post, Ed. Isn't that a great pic of the French dude floating along that charming French street on his bicycle enveloped in his dry cape. Wow, makes you want to stop and have a small cup of strong coffee at some petite bistro and watch the bicycles go by.
Aahh, France. What a lovely and cool place. And they have rain capes. And they have lovely people. And they have great bicycling. And they have good food. Viva la France. Love it.
