How I Stay Dry When Bike Commuting In The Rain

Bike commuting in the rain can be challenging. Unlike in weekend rides, where you can get home drenched and mucky, you need to protect yourself from water, especially if you ride your bike dressed for work.
In this video, I'm showing you the methods I use to keep dry when cycling to work.

I like the poncho 😮 I used too wear weather proof pants and jacket, I used too work half a hour away so it wasn't too bad I always used too arrive Dry even when it was pouring down I might look around for a decent Poncho, Just started Bike commuting again I'm only 15 min away 😮

I have also a poncho from Decathlon. I like it that much... that I hope it is going to rain. Wich is no problem in the Netherlands ;)

[@atomo8730]

issue is never the rain and cold, more rain and SWEAT :P however, thumbs-up for your work

[@MeneerHerculePoirot]

Yep, get wet from the outside in or inside out. Keep dry clothes and towel at work. Don't work in your commuting clothes or commute in your working clothes.

[@GOATMENTATOR]

depends where you live :P

​@@MeneerHerculePoirotSomebody forgot to tell the Dutch they should do all that... and they seem to manage quite well. Unfortunately, a lot of those that consider themselves to be "serious" cyclists, treat all riding as a sport and training... an ordeal. So getting hot, sweaty and wet whilst dressed in expensive lycra and is proof of being a "proper" cyclist. 🥵 🙄 Personally, I think the Dutch have the right idea.

Bee keeper ponch let make that a thing ❤

[@normanmerrill1241]

Thanks

[@nathang4682]

Dang these look perfect but they are out of stock, hope they come back soon. Have tried a few different ponchos for rain and they both have both not been ideal

[@hanoradoyle]

Do you have a tiny tent ? .Good video

[@GraysonH969]

thanks i had to tide my bike to school and jt was about to rain so i watched this

[@jimj2683]

You are probably in the market for a Podbike Frikar or an EQHawk.

[@BikeCommuterHero]

Those would be pretty epic!

[@paolobaldisimo989]

Im usually Medium size clothes. If I'll get the overpants, should I get one size bigger or stick with Medium size pants?

[@BikeCommuterHero]

I think you should be fine with your size.

[@radishpineapple74]

How do you keep your hands dry with that poncho?

[@Kevin_geekgineering]

I had decathlon jackets and over pants, very low quality, it lasted only one week, then started letting water in in light rain, so don't waste money on it

[@BikeCommuterHero]

That's a pity. I've used mine for a while now and they've held up pretty well.

[@lukasc4519]

Running jackets have pocekts

[@another3997]

Most jackets have pockets... but apparently "serious" cyclists can't have proper pockets, or indeed, proper jackets. Cycling became too sports focussed a long time ago, and sadly, much of the cycling gear followed suit. Strangely, serious outdoor/hiking clothing usually has lots of pockets and doesn't involve tight fitting lycra, but is comfortable, hard wearing and can look quite smart. Great if you ride a bike and don't want to look like a Tour de France reject.

Those Decathlon links don't work no more
