I get colds a lot less if I'm diligent about eating nutritious food (not vit/min supplements, though I do take seal oil and calcium), getting enough sleep regularly (very important), washing my hands and avoiding people who have colds!
A couple of stressful days with junk food, little sleep and a few commutes on the metro among runny-nosed people and I'm down, though... and they take forever to go away completely. (the colds, not the runny-nosed people :P)
I take echinacea on occasion if I feel a cold early on, but for me it seems to just postpone the cold until I stop taking it.

Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
