One word. Wool.
But I'd like to see that umbrella model after she'd ridden her bici 13 miles in the rain.

I'm wondering how fast that thing would steam up in 60 degree rainy weather
By charity, goodness, restraint, and self-control men and woman alike can store up a well-hidden treasure -- a treasure which cannot be given to others and which robbers cannot steal. A wise person should do good. That is the treasure that cannot be lost.

I have the same dilemma. Wind, rain, fog all affect how cold or hot I feel.
I went out for a run in a ss top and a running skirt. I got to my mailbox and it started raining. Well, sprinkling. Given the forecast is for this off and on stuff all day, I turned back and decided to go to the gym. It was 65 out and the rain felt cold... maybe if it was 75-80 I could run in the rain and not feel chilled.
My best suggestion is things you can layer/take off and a rain jacket small enough to put away in a bag. I also wear Craft sleeveless base layers, which make a big difference on days like today. It really warms your core.

Her white suit would be covered with New York City car splatter.

I just stop when I need to and take layers or raingear on and off. It means carrying a trunk rack or pannier much of the time. Most of my rides to work start in the cool morning (30-40 degrees) going downhill, but after 4-6 miles I've warmed up and stop to removed something. The big uphill comes at mile 9. In dry weather that's not too cold, I'll start in arm warmers, knee warmers, and long socks so I can adjust while riding.
Oil is good, grease is better.
