Going by the long range weather forecast waterproofs may be a good idea soon!

Not too bad today for temperature,so,a Northwave base,nice new Cinelli jersey(just to show off) with armwarmers and a pair of knees under shorts were just enough.The jacket however made its appearance about an hour before sundown,just as the chill becomes apparent.

Wore bib shorts and long sleeved Jersey today with full fingered gloves. Wished I had put a gilet on for the first 5 miles or so but warmed up nicely after that. No need for tights for me yet
 
Cannot wear longs when cycling as they cause my knees to hurt to much and I don't like to wear log sleeves because I cannot get at the elbow lock easily with it covered.
So I'm still in shorts and a vest top. I had a gilet and a glove on for the first half of the ride but ended up to hot so took them off.

Today's the first time I've not gone with shorts & short sleeves - although I switched to long fingered gloves a couple of weeks ago.
The 3/4 came out as it was foggy and a bit nippy this morning.

Went out yesterday at 7am and it was only 3c, so wore longs, short sleeved top with arm warmers and lightweight gilet. Started off a little chilly as the first mile is downhill, then it's 3 miles of climbing so was nicely warmed up by then and the rest of the ride was perfect.

Im not sure I buy into the cold knees thing though, I'm a postie and wear shorts for work unless it's sub zero - with last years mild winter I haven't worn trousers for two years. Unless it's really freezing my legs just don't feel cold.

Unless it's really wet or close to frosty I just wear shorts. Purchased some leg warmers yesterday though so don't get caught out badly on the commute.
