GaryvdM Posted October 28, 2013 Share I have clip on mud guards which I put on when commuting in summer, and good lights. With those, on the bike, I wait for the storm to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted October 29, 2013 Share So is one safer pedalling in the rain or waiting under a tree i.t.o. lighting? I cycle with a goretex jacket, and a plastic to but moonbag / galaxy note in which then goes inside my day pack, so not really fussed about getting wet.

Tumbleweed Posted October 29, 2013 Share always cycle with taller friends Ain't hard for shorties like us. Reminds me of the 24-hour at Rietvlei that got shortened by a storm. There we were holding down our gazebo, and then the lightning came. Um, screw the gazebo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf Posted October 29, 2013 Share What do you do ? Cycle , or wait for it to pass? With a garbage bag converted rain jacket pulled over my chest and bag.Smaller p'np bags to cover the smaller things in the bag such as laptop, phone, memory sticks, book or two, etc. Water proof everything with them, then lights on, and push that pedal hard.I keep a few of these bags with me, for this reason.
