It’s that time of year again — when an extra 20 minutes in bed in the morning is harder to resist, when it’s usually dark when you leave the house and dark when you get home, and when biking to work doesn’t seem so attractive given the winter elements.

After an awesome spring, summer and fall of bike commuting, I, too, was worried that winter would put the kibosh on what had become a really enjoyable part of my day. Not that I was worried about the cold, so much. What I really didn’t want to do was have to buy a whole rack of bike gear and clothes. One of the things I like most about riding a bike to get around is that almost anyone can do it, without the need for heaps of expensive gear.
