You never know when you suddenly need a roof over your head. Whether during a rainy ride or bright sunshine – a shelter is always helpful for a short break. Today, during heavy rain, it proved particularly useful. Anything is better than standing under a tree and trying to somehow "balance" into your rain gear. Really helpful.
