Yeah, I’ve read up a bit on a few websites and it seems like a textile jacket and gloves are in my future. It doesn’t usually rain like crazy, so I figure I’ll be alright, but from what I was reading (as well as from common sense), leather = bad for my situation.

And I’m really starting to realize how Florida weather is much more of a blessing than a curse… I couldn’t imagine riding a bike in the snow and the cold… I spent a year and a half in the Chicago metro area and I was scared to death to drive my car in that, so I can’t imagine riding a bike through it.
