  • Special clothes do inhibit cycling

    From Joy Beeson@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 3 21:44:27 2024
    The weather looks good for Friday, my appointment is for something
    that doesn't require me to bring a driver, and it's early enough that
    I could go somewhere afterward.

    But if I rode, it would take me half an our to get undressed for the
    exam.

    I'm going to drive.

    But, yay!, it's the last appointment in January that requires my
    presence.

    Fingers crossed, but go-bag ready, in case of a trip to an emergency
    room. (I know the best route to three.)

    On the other hand, rain is predicted on Saturday, the day I want to
    ride to the farmers market at the Pete Thorne Center.

    so what exactly stops you wearing suitable clothes for the exam?

    I live in northern Indiana, U.S.A., North America.

    It is January.

    Fleece lined cycling cape.... problem solved!

    I used to have a rain cape. Carried it on my bike, it started to
    rain, I stopped and put it on, attempted to look back to see whether
    it was safe to start again, got off the bike and took it off.

    some reason they tend to be in drab colours.


    At least mine was yellow.

    When the weather is warm, I just get wet. Better rain than sweat.

    For cold weather, I have a woven-nylon overshirt. Or maybe polyester.
    Some hydophobic synthetic.
