Thanks, I will check them out. I was also thinking some flannel lined khaki's might work.

 

Believe it or not a pair of rain pants will stop the wind realy well and are easy to pack up when you get to your destination.

 

That's probably the cheapest option too, which is always the best option for me

 

its not my primary vehicle but for 3 seasons out of the year my car hardly gains any mileage.

 

Dark, I lived in E. Tn and western KY when I was bike only. 50 mile RT daily in E. Tn, about 10 RT daily in KY. Now I'm in eastern KY, and I still stay on it most days.

Good rain gear, good leather, some warm Carhartt knockoffs, and (for the really bad days) a heated suit...all make it possible. Some hand/foot warmers go a long way for the daily commuter.

I keep extra clothes at work. It takes extra time, and it's a hassle in the winter. But I love riding in most days.

Where are you?

 

I am in the shenandoah valley in Northern Virginia, pretty moderate temps most of the year.

I think with the stuff you are mentioning i could probably ride year round, especially considering my commute is less than 20 mins round trip.

 

I ride every day year round except when there is a threat of snow or ice. January and February are a little dicey in North Alabama.

For the last 29 years it has been me daily trans. But in tucson thats eazy.

Kinda nice during the colder days when you don't need to watch out for the yahoos who jump on their bikes when it's warm out.
