I was off my bike for over a year and the hoody drove me back! I have since had the hoody stolen:(<br />I need to revist that little store to see if that print is still there-<br />thanks for the reminder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28811616.post-1162856517501483662006-11-06T15:41:00.000-08:002006-11-06T15:41:00.000-08:00I am a long time Victoria cyclist.

First, if it’s really coming down and you are moving fast the rain seems to get in anyway. Second, if you’re going far or up your going to start sweating and if you sweat like me you’ll be pretty wet anyway because waterproof does not breath.<BR/>So, my solution is quick dry clothing to ware while I am cycling and waterproof panniers to keep my change of cloths dry.<BR/>It is incredible that with all the technology we have cycling is still the most efficient mode of travel in a city. I love it!<BR/>P.S. Don’t forget to bring dry underwear in your change of cloths ‘cause in Victoria rain you will be wet through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28811616.post-1162808351651958362006-11-06T02:19:00.000-08:002006-11-06T02:19:00.000-08:00I remember seeing that first picture before. Cute!...I remember seeing that first picture before. Cute!<BR/><BR/>And I think it's great that you're cycling in all sorts of weather. Personally, I love riding in the rain and getting all sopping wet. Of course, it helps if you've got a hot shower and dry clothes waiting for you at your destination. If not, you could wear a plastic sheet or some rain gear. I bought a bright blue rain pants/jacket set from the dollar store. I got my fair share of stares, but it kept me nice and dry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28811616.post-1162788077750347512006-11-05T20:41:00.000-08:002006-11-05T20:41:00.000-08:00i can't believe you went went for a bike ride in y...i can't believe you went went for a bike ride in yesterday's rain.<BR/><BR/>you deserve a medal or gold star or prize of some sort.<BR/><BR/>well done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
