    I had an eyebleedingly fugly hi-viz raincoat I got for a fiver out of Bethany(longsleeve-T underneath was more to combat its hilarious unbreathability than the cold), pair of waterproof breeks, lightweight workie's gloves and a laptop bag for nine quid total out of the Omni carboot and hiking boots for two quid at the Chesser carboot. Oh, and a beard I got for less than free.

    It certainly passed today's test with flying colours; we'll see how it does when it gets proper cold.

    there are such things as non-waterproof 'knit' overshoes

    I have two pairs of these 'over socks'...

    Not to protect any fancy cycling shoes but to keep my feet warm when it's cold. Wearing the red ones I do look a bit like a weird cycling geek - but I like them! and they work in the cold weather

    If you could get a mother-huge pair of shoes to go over those oversocks, that would be so Inception....

    Nice socks. Let me get this right - you can get sealskinz waterproof socks for inside your shoes that you can also walk in. You can get goretex waterproof socks for inside your shoes that are no good for walking in, you can get waterproof bootees or let's face it galoshes for over the shoe and now socks for outside the shoe but which aren't waterproof.

    Also plastic carrier bags [not designed for feet, just from the food shops?]

    anything else?

    Man I know wraps his feet in clingfilm when doing time trial in the rain.

    Yesterday, wore fingerless gloves and like others realised it was a bit nippy, today I planned ahead and broke out the full fingered gloves, light fleece and warm hat.... so obviously today it was mild and felt warm, sigh :-/

    First day that I have worn leggings since spring. I was really slow.
