    These are great points and suddenly I feel like the all weather point is showing a nonexistant / totally under served market.

    A quick google search shows even quadricycles tend to be un covered. Man, this feels like a real business opportunity.

    Ofc, cause #Murica, I’ll bet I’m the one in a million people who’d want a covered bicycle / quadicycle (vs trying to get a golf cart) for local mobility.

      Probably because the cover is extra weight and cumbersome rigging for all of the time you don’t need it. Rain gear works well enough in a pinch.

        Yeah, I’m sure for my interests, I could strap a lock box to the bike with all weather gear (so that I don’t have to think about bringing it with me all the time).

        Still, a neat idea. I’d love the vibes of being a biking Fred Flintstone.

        Yeah, but I grew up in a part of the world too hot year round to wear them, so as an adult, most jackets are just really uncomfortable for me. Doubly so for water proof materials that don’t breathe.
