This is our first winter in the PNW and while we've been sucking it up for a while, the chill is getting to both of us (maybe more my conscience about having a toddler out on the bike in the rain?). I am getting a new bike soon (woo hoo!) and want to set up something like this for him to make the ride a bit more comfortable for him: http://youaintgotjack.blogspot.com/p...rotection.html

In any case, I still see a fair amount of commuters in the town where we live, but like someone else mentioned, it's hard to tell whether they are male or female a lot of times.
Just curious. What is he riding in now? I see a number of people pulling their kids in trailers on my commute. The one we have (a Burley) would be good for keeping a kid warm and dry in temps above 20 as long as they were wrapped up pretty well.

A trailer is not always convenient though and I wouldn't want to try to pull one through any snow.
