I make 4 times what the average American makes, so I'm not wearing dishwashing gloves because I'm broke
I bike when it's raining regardless of temperature, so that could range from 40F to 80F. As you can see everybody has a different glove in this thread, it's all a matter of what works for you. For me rain 50F and under waterproof winter gloves, 50F - 60F dishwashing gloves, 60F and over nothing.

Bike to work week(which is every week for me), 4 straight days of damp/rainy commute
