Cycling clothes go on my body. Why would I bother with a rain cape?
I think you missed the part where it's 95°F and 95% humidity, and we grownups can't be in the office in bedraggled clothes, drenched in sweat. Suggesting I spend more time outside just means more sweat when I finally get there.
And chicbicyclist's point is that, with a car, you can go from home to office building to another office building to lunch to a job site to a meeting and back home without changing clothes. People want to do the same with a bike. Are you saying that it can't be done?
In my life? No, it can't. The combination of weather and distance are too much for it.
