Not unless you want people to laugh and point

All capes should be in black.

I find your lack of taste.... disturbing

I have a Cath Kidston one...



It's hilarious, good hi-vis, but a bit of a sail if it's both rainy and windy, which it so often is. Also does nothing to keep your legs dry. I voted no...

Think of the bonuses of a tailwind with a cape.

Such a disappointment

Get one in Red, but be careful of vulpine impersonators, especially if they have big eyes etc.......

I voted yes, they're tops, if a little bit slowing on windy days - used to have a silver one as a kid.

hahah thats true, but as wind always seems to be a headwind, you might end up going backwards in a gail

Just spent 33p on four of her books. Last read one of her books about 10 years ago.

Hoist the Mainsail, trim the Jib. The way the wind has been this week you'll not need to pedal.
