I love commute by bike for grocery and stuff, but riding in rain is my least favorite stuff ever. Even though i have poncho, it makes me looks like a Ring Wraith on bicycle, and it's quite fussy trying to put it on. And even i get to keep everything dry somehow, the rain drop might sometime score a direct hit on my eyeball like the car salesman slapping the car. It's annoying, irritating, and frankly quite dangerous. My vision is blurred, so is my glasses, and it almost got me into trouble a few times.
So how do you guys protect your eye and keep your vision clear? I live in tropical area so the rain can be quite heavy at time, and i can't wait until it stop because sometime it will go on for hours, even if it get lighter.
>30min away by bus could sometime mean adding 30/40 min to wait time. Bus in a lot of places is awful as they have a route to follow and still stuck in traffic. Bad bus frequency is very common in places with shitty public transport.
On the other hand, depend on where you live, pedal assist ebike is awesome and you are less likely arrive sweaty, even if >30min away.
