- Go for a hybrid. Something like the Specialized sirrus will be faster than any mountain bike. Make sure the bike you buy has mounting points for full fenders and a rear pannier rack
- Full fenders are a must. They will make a huge difference. Other things that can make a big difference in wet weather are shoe covers. Also, as other have said, backpacks are a bad idea because they make you sweat like hell. Go for waterproof panniers or a good quality messenger bag like this one. Finally, one thing you don't want is to have a puncture in the rain or cold weather. Get tires with good puncture protection like the Schwalbe Marathon Plus to reduce the chance of getting flats.
- Clipless pedals (the one that hook your feet to the pedals) have a learning curve, but they will make you pedal more efficiently. If you want to go this way, try hybrid pedals first. They can be used with cycling shoes (hooking your feet to the pedal) or with regular shoes.
