I've often looked enviously at the Parisian scooter riders who have some sort of waterproof blanket arrangement that's attached to the front of the bike and covers their legs and feet. I've been wondering for ages whether it would be possible to transfer the principle to a "normal" bike.

I tried waiting for the rain to stop in the UK, but I was told I would have to apply for immigration to wait that long and have to that from my home country.
Most rain for me is thunderstorms. You can wait out the worst for an hour, then the sun is out and it is hot and you dry in an hour. Sometimes it will rain for days. Not often. But it is stop and start rain and you can wait out the downpour. At most I put a water proof liner in my textile jacket to keep my work clothes dry and just pack my work trousers.
