Know that the weather is going to get progressively worse and wet can anyone suggest some reasonable priced wet gear for cycling to work. I cycle most days and am really enjoying but with the wet weather coming don't want to stop

    You might be better trying the commuting forum on here. I'm sure they have loads of experience on this subject.

    Us roadies tend to just get wet and then moan about it at the cafe stop.

    Yep, decent mudguards transformed my winter commute - proper long ones fixed on properly. Turns out most of the water that gets you wet comes up rather than down. Other than that I concentrate on being warm and comfortable. Decent overshoes are a must but no matter how much I spend I haven't found waterproofs that are enough to stop you getting clammy if you're doing a decent pace. So I just don't use them.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.
