Bicycling gear for wet weather
Depending on how committed/able you are to be a bicycle commuter, rain will -- almost inevitably -- fall on you. Of course, in this instance, one of the most pressing questions will be: what to wear?
Rather than reinvent the wheel, here are a few general tips:
-Wear bright colors.
-Make sure to cover up. Cover your ears (try a headband), neck (try a neck gator), and use layers for legs and feet. Cover your hands with gloves.
-Waterproofing yourself is also key. Suggestions for this: rain jacket or poncho, waterproof pants.
Jennifer, a Seattle bike commuter, offers this great advice for necessary biking gear. She also suggests wearing glasses to shield against bugs, dirt and rain, and gives advice on shoes, pedals, tires and panniers.
