I am going to give this a shot but I would like to hear from other South Florida commmuters about the caveats here. I need info on how to dress for the heat here, also a nimble bike to get through this horrible driving/traffic. I am not new to cycling but I am new to commuting. I have never ridden with paniers or major baggage.

What about rainy weather gear that won't make me melt?

My commute witll be from Datran/Metrorail south to NW 25th and Palmetto (doral area)

Any comments would be helpful.

Thanks
