Rain is, without a doubt, one of the biggest deterrents to bicycling. People, for some odd reason, don’t like to get wet…. Well, a company called Veltop has you covered (pun intended). Here’s more from our friends at Crisp Green:
To protect brave bikers against rain, cold, and sun, Veltop has created a portable canopy that enables bikers to cycle while completely sheltered. The canopy is composed of a windscreen and a canopy supported by arches plus two side protections, and is adaptable to all bikes and almost on all trikes.
And here’s a little video on these great products.
Cool, eh?
