This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I bike everyday to work and back. Ponchos suuuuuck to ride in. Theyre constantly getting into your chain or wheel. It's hard to do a shoulder check because you'll get poncho in the eyes. And the wind getting in will make it come off your arms and head. Plus they're uncomfortable with helmets and biking gloves.

Personally, I just use a rain jacket plus accept the fact that I'll get wet sometimes. I already carry a towel in my rear rack for sweat so it's not that big a deal as long as I get to my destination.

Mine hasn't caused any issues. It has velcro straps that clip it to my legs and it's designed for cycling. I do think I probably could have got the larger size though.

Not sure, bit more airflow around my arms and upper chest could be nice.
