Do you stand by the radiator to dry off when its raining?
Before I had the car I used waterproofs, now if its raining in the morning I take the car.
Do you stand by the radiator to dry off when its raining?
Do you stand by the fridge to dry off when its really hot?
You will have to explain that one to me, why should I stand by a fridge? There isn't a fridge in the warehouse where I work, though I did work in a chemical warehouse that had a huge fridge, big enough for us to drive forklifts in, to keep chemicals cool.
If I cycled to work in my work clothes I'd have to wring them out when I got there, or stand by a fridge to cool down and stop sweating
It sounds like you're trying too hard, we're commuting, we're using our bikes for transport, we're not trying to set a PB in the club time trial, I'm trying just hard enough to get there in a reasonable time, six and a half miles in twenty five minutes pace, but not working hard enough to sweat up, my aim is to arrive having just started to glow from the effort.
It would appear that despite being comfortable in my high vis jacket, by wearing it in the mild weather, I am giving off signals that I'm a fair weather cyclist, and a clueless one at that.
Maybe half right.
So, any advice on clothing I could buy to wear instead of the jacket?
I don't want to wear anything tight fitting, and I tend to just wear cycling shorts under football shorts on legs, which I'm happy with.
Everytime I look online, I just see a load of tight fitting, professional looking stuff!
Also, any thoughts about whether high-vis is recommended even in daylight? Is it simply more noticeable?
Cheers
There's nothing unhygienic about cycling in ordinary clothes. Your right we can wear what we like, we can travel as fast as we like, but there's no right or wrong clothes to wear whilst we are cycling, we wear what we like, we wear what works for us, be it cycle clothes ordinary clothes or a mixture of the two, you had a little dig when I posted that I wear ordinary clothes, I've been doing that for over 30 years, I do more miles in ordinary clothes than cycling clothes, that's what lead to my other posts.
Thats one response to two different people, but if you mean me having a dig, you are altogether too sensitive, it wasnt a dig at all, but its a bit strange you're so defensive
We're commuting, we can ride as fast or as slow as we like. I find the thought of riding in work clothes, no matter how slow, to be pretty minding and unhygienic.
