Hello all - it is a crappy, misty, not really cold but not warm day in Central NC - reminds me of many days in Germany when I was a Soldier. I remember people commuting in just about any weather there - if you wait for a clear sunny day to ride - well you wont be riding much.
Here is the question - those of you who commute or are bike only for your mode of transportation - what do you do to remain safe, stay at least marginally comfortable and continue every day to work etc.
My thoughts are -
1. man up - it isn't going to be pretty all the time, get used to being less than perfectly comfortable.
2. Spend the money on good gear and if you have the money - have a second set of gear so you have one drying while you get wet with the other
3. Use a Dry sack for the clothes you need at work (I'm an office geek with computer hands).
4. Clean and prep your visor regularly with anti fog goo - or get a pinlock - whatever you need/works for you.
5. Clean and lube the important parts of your bike like the manufacturer says to do... and the usual chex - tire/tyre pressure, wear etc.. (Tcloc.....)
My main question to you is - what do you add to be able to see in the dark with a fogged/rain covered visor?
Wiping only goes so far even with the thumb squeegee gloves....
What can you add to this and what do you do - please let us know
Thanks in advance - Cag
