arsa13,
I feel your pain man, I am also on the waiting list and riding to work. I bike commute to work normally so its no change for me. I did keep my car though just in case but the way its going I kind of suspected a bit of a wait. might i recommend you hit up walmart they sell the under armour cold gear stuff under starter brand, and get a polartec coat for when it gets bitter cold, along with gloves and etc.
