Waterproof gear for your bicyle commute

My husband, who commutes to work on his bike, has an uncanny knack for missing rainstorms. Though he's been riding his bike to work for at least three years, I can only count on one hand the number of times he's come home wet. I'll look out the window at the pouring rain, think, "Wow. I really should go get him." Then, just as I'm ready to leave, the clouds part...or at least quit dumping buckets of rain. He's charmed, I'm telling you.

Commuting by bike is a great way to sneak in exercise, reduce pollution, and save money on gas. Chances are, however, you aren't going to be as lucky as my hubby when it comes to rainfall. If you're truly committed to riding your bike, but not to having your work clothing soaked through, Sarah over at Green Daily has some excellent suggestions for wet weather biking gear. These duds are also helpful for biking enthusiasts who head outside, despite the weather.

I won't be buying any for my husband just yet. I'm afraid it would break the spell!
