I'm going bike shopping this weekend and taking my DP, who is crazy into cycling. I'm super excited to get my second hand road bike so I can get to work on and get around the city without walking for hours. DP goes into work in full lycra, but he goes further than me (and definitely faster) and he said I don't need to bother buying a jersey and all that unless we're going miles out of town. But I also don't think I can cycle in floaty tops and my fucked Doc Martins, largely because of wind, rain and lack of visibility to cars.
Is there an in-between? Some relatively cheap over-trousers, like climbing trousers but waterproof? What do you wear if you're only going about five or six miles?
