  1. 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 pissing 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

    Tested / christened my brand new Lidl special bike jacket last night. 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.

    <AOL>Me too</AOL>

    Plus fingerless gloves which I especially enjoyed in that rather chilly
    rain on the way home.

    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.

    Ooh, nasty. At least I had my Sealskinz. But I'd just changed over
    from the winter shoes (Northwave Fahrenheit, really excellent) so I
    got seriously wet feet.
