Such a wonderful spouse you are!

I don't know about other commuters, but I personally cannot handle a hood when I'm on the bike. I have yet to find a hood that doesn't get dangerously in my line of sight when I make a shoulder-check (which even people with mirrors will have to do before making a turn). In poor weather (i.e. rain) it's even worse.

I'm sure that more experienced, real commuters may have different opinions though!
