Riding back I took the lane more or less everywhere, as there was
little alternative, between big piles of snow, parked cars, and
frozen slush on verges. If anyone was annoyed they gave no sign,
until I saw a large black pickup with two young Cambodian guys
in it behind me, the driver tap, tap, tapping on the horn. WTF?
I look over at them, and the passenger says, hey, you dropped
something, and he hands me the balaclava, which, having proven a
little too much, I had stuffed in my coat pocket.

I had to look up what a balaclava is. Now I know. One of those camo
things for a "leaded withdrawal of a large sum" at the bank :-)

That's a narrow view of the world :-)

Aeons ago -- in the last millennium -- I used to have a part-time,
schoolboy job delivering newspapers. In winter I wore a wool
balaclava that mum knitted for me.

Now you can purchase cycling-specific balaclavas. For example see:

Balaclavas aren't just for bank robbers and members of the SAS :-)
