I'm certainly not the first to say that there is never bad weather, just bad clothes.
On this dreary rainy Sunday I hooked the Burley trailer up to my fixed gear, and headed out to the grocery store. The bike can even transform a day like this into something magical. It was a beautiful ride...the crisp December air, with drops of rain on my face, made the ride an invigorating adventure!
When I got home, the following get up kept me as dry as a bone, and I was much happier than when I left:
Salomon Gore Tex shoes
REI waterproof pants
fisherman's foul weather gear jacket (I got this for ten bucks at a thrift store in Beverly, MA)
Specialized skull cap (to keep the ears toasty)
Bike Nashbar waterproof helmet cover (the ole noggin even stayed dry)
fleece gloves
For a few bucks even the weather can't stop you from going by bike.
