However, if you use a clear bubble type umbrella, with your head inside, and held upright, it should not overly impact your progress, as it will be relatively aerodynamic. (I believe you should still try not to tilt it too much.)
Something like this one might work...
Unfortunately, considering the beginning of this thread, you should never use this umbrella in the rain. You could use it some other times, however...  |
Additional problems, even if isn't a thunderstorm.... How would you equip this with wipers? And how deal with the drip blowing back against your legs?
