wet weather

* Shin guards

* Pinned pedals

* A good tread on your shoes for any wheel walking-type tricks

The typing/spelling in this thread makes me want to hurt myself.

Try Kona Jackshits for pedals, and don't listen to that one guy about
not getting pads. They are life savers.

I don't like riding in moderate to heavy rain, but light rain or dizzle
is bearable. The main problem is not the rain itself, but the puddles
which conceal all those delicate ground details that chuck you off. And
don't get me started on the bridleways that turn into churned
unrideable mudbaths, nearly half of my favourite route was completely
cut off this "summer" because of the non-stop rain.

'Nope' (http://www.redpedals.co.uk/temp/z-950605vicpark.jpg). Not me or
my picture, by the way.

Not really surprising that you're used to riding holding an umbrella.
You live in Wales, so that's to be expected.

Riding in wet weather is fun indeed...all that i do is i have 2 sets of
pedals allways on me (and of course a small spanner) and i jsut change
them when i need to...For riding in wet weather i use longer metal
pedals (by about 2cm) and only ones that have .5 mm pins in them...it
makes it so much easier to ride when its wet...and once im done after
that i just put on my smaller El'Cheapo plastic pedals on...

I too live in Wales and enjoy riding in the rain - well I have little
choice really. What I like about it is that there are few other people
out and about on the cycle track.

However, i don't like it when the rain is so heavy that the padding in
my shorts gets soaking wet and I feel like I'm wearing a soaking wet
nappy.

Riding in the rain can be fun. But if you are going to ride on a
soaking wet wooden boardwalk that has slimy green stuff growing on it,
take the curves slowly and for the love of everything you hold dear
wear knee pads and shin guards! :eek:
