When the sky is gray, day after day, and rainstorms soften to drizzle, all you need to lift your spirits is an outfit with some sizzle. A trench coat in red, a zebra-print shirtdress and shiny black vinyl boots kept me dry, clean and comfy as I rolled through puddles on the river trail with a chorus of happy ducks as my soundtrack.
Wearing bold colors and strong patterns on a gray day makes everything a bit brighter.
-
- Black vinyl boots wipe off much faster than wiping down my white bike.
-
- A light raincoat and quick-drying gloves are all that’s needed for light rain.
-
- A polka dot seat cover keeps my leather saddle dry and clean too.

I got it at Public Bikes. It’s a BikeCap made in the Netherlands. http://publicbikes.com/p/BikeCap-Seat-Cover
