I will give you high heat sucks, though 110 heat index isnt terrible when youre moving fast, but it takes 30 seconds to throw on some rain gear, Ive even seen people do it at a stoplight.
Putting on raingear, while less miserable than not being in rain gear. Does not entirely save one from the annoyance and wetness of the rain. I did a LOT of biking in my teens in all conditions… I’m familiar with it lol
Yeah unless it’s an absolute downpour I tend to prefer the rain wet over the sweaty under the rain gear wet. I totally get how people are not into that. Which is why we need more trains/busses too
Honestly these are the kind of things we need to share more: tips for dealing with common problems that make biking inconvenient. Seeing how other people handle rainy weather is a great example.
Those look to be motorbikes so I’m not sure it 100% transfers, but… where does one get such a thing?
IDK. A nice one with good material and a window for the headlight is ~4USD on at a random store or on shop.ee. The ones I see on Amazon are much more expensive.
Personally I use a normal split raincoat, because I can use it off the bike too, and use it on bicycles too.

What exactly is the point in covering the front of the bikes there? Some of those look dangerously close to getting caught on their tires.
Keeps your legs dry at speed and protects if the bike next to you splashes.
