for c. 9 months in the year: t shirt and long shorts, cycling cap and mitts. if more than spitting, a sexy fluoro jacket.
for approximately winter: same jacket regardless of rainfall and when esp cold full-fingered gloves, a buff and long trousers tucked into socks or rolled up.
waterproof overshoes if v wet
shower and get changed at work
