I've got a collection of different jackets, but if I were buying now, I'd get one made of Gore-tex Shakedry. Tiny, waterproof, and breathable but not inexpensive. That said, I see it as a heck of a...

Just for fun. This 70-yr old woman rode a bike up a big hill because that's what she wanted to do -- which I think is fabulous. And when this lycra-wearing roadie was busting his ass to come around...
