How wrong can you get?
I looked out of the window this morning and thought it looked nice and
sunny, probably quite warm. So off I set in shorts and long-sleeved jersey, leaving the jacket at home (on the wedgie, the 'bent needs a new gear cable and middle ring). It was a bit cold, but I consoled myself with the thought that it would be nice and warm by evening, and with BST I'd probably be able to put in a few miles on the way home. So as I rode to the station in the ****ing rain at 9:30pm with a failed front light and no waterproof, guess what sort of names I was calling myself? Secondary light and waterproof now packed. A commuter bike is a commuter bike: never leave home without the backup lights and emergency waterproof.

I have been known to remind Nathan of this on the occasions he's cycled home from college and arrived looking like a drowned rat ;-) Cheers, helen s |

It proved warm and waterproof. :~) 10 of your English pounds less one whole penny -- bargain. Bit of a bummer that winter is back so soon though. |

Managed to completely forget lights too, but by a stretch of the imagination it wasn't quite lighting up time as I went home... Pete. |

But I'd just changed over from the winter shoes (Northwave Fahrenheit, really excellent) so I got seriously wet feet.
