Finally got a chance to wear my cape today! Though it wasn't actually raining that hard by the time I got out the house.
One annoyance is I couldn't signal properly as the little magnetic tags that keep it secured to the handlebar would come off. This might be less of a problem on a more upright bike.
Other than that it did keep me dry, apart from the ankles of my trousers getting a bit damp, might have to get the gaiters out on a really wet day. Was nice to feel the air rather than being zipped up in a jacket and trousers.
Commute only spoiled by the sight of the guy in front's hairy arse crack peeping over his waterproof trousers.
