But a hi-vis jacket, a helmet, and shorts designed to castrate you, do look very silly indeed. -- Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!" Delta 351: "Give us another hint!

If I were a manual labourer and got enough exercise in everyday life I wouldn't bother cycling, but I sit on my arse all day. Cycling to and from work is more hassle than taking the train or driving, but it takes about the same time and the advantage is I don't need to spend any extra time doing exercise. Also unlike driving it means I'm not adding to the congestion. I try to avoid the rainy days more for safety than the wet factor. |

Only if you don't wear appropriate wet weather clothes, the same goes for motorcyclists. |
