Two things that would have made my commute today better...

1. Water and windproof pants. I don't know what I did with the ones I bought last year, but they would have been awesome on the ride home tonight.

2. Ski goggles. I always thought they might be too much, but the slush felt like little daggers in my peepers out there tonight.

The rest of my gear held up well. Granted, I only rode about four miles since I'm trying out a bus and bike combination route but it was not bad.

What about you guys? Anything you forgot to pack today?

The Marshalls or TJ Maxx in Chicago has a pair of clear goggles for 9.99!
