I used to commute on bike every day, regardless of weather in rain or harsh northern winter conditions. Waxed fabric is an interesting idea, and I might try soy wax on my shoes come to think of it. However in the past I had tried to use a rain poncho while biking and found that the flappiness rendered it completely useless in the rain.
Technically it’s not gore-tex exactly, but I got a Columbia brand rain jacket that uses an equivalent technology. It is probably the best coat I’ve ever had for both rain and winter conditions (as long as I dress in layers), and even 6+ years later it is still entirely rainproof.

Interesting, I’ll have to look more into this.
