Yes to removable baskets for your handbag, lightweight gloves and rainmac for winter (the last bit will help you to get hypothermia I would think).
Still it bothers me to see so many women wearing absolutely horrid clothes while cycle commuting.

2010 London Tweed Run: Cycling enthusiasts wearing vintage or vintage inspired 30' and 40's Daywear cycle through London. Excerpt here:
'Under cloudless skies, 400 dapper gents and dashing ladies set out from the Rootstein Hopkins Parade Grounds at the Chelsea College of Art & Design for a lovely 12 mile jaunt through the capital, stopping off along the way at Geo F. Trumpers for a Best Moustache prize, in Kensington Gardens for a spot of tea (accompanied by a three-piece string orchestra), H Huntsman & Sons for the best outfits prizes and then heading to The Bathhouse in Bishopsgate for a party that included entertainment by Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer, Top Shelf Jazz, DJ Tom Kerwin and our lovely team of swing dancers. All in all, an absolutely spiffing day out! See the gallery for more photos'
