Things you find unique about commuting

Next time it rains like it did yesterday I'm going old-skool triathlete style; trunks and cycling shoes. Can you get prescription swimming goggles? those woulda helped.

Yes you can. My son has a pair ordered via his optician.

It was hot today, brutally hot with really high humidity -33'C. Saps the energy out of you -plus air quality is not too good, and you have to keep really well hydrated. The air feels heavier and you're really having to push through it.

Strange thing I like: when I get into work I'm really hot so I take a cold shower. The cold water hits my head -by the time it reaches the end of my back it feels like it's hot water!

Thing I don't like: coming back, about 1 km to go, I get sweat in my eye, and no matter how much I wipe my eye, the sweat gets back in my eye after about 100m. I had to keep stopping as I couldn't see -not counting it's pretty painful -that last kilometer took ages!

Dont forget to periodically remove the padding from your helmet (if you wear one..) and wash it, I am often reminded the hard way after reasonable weather followed by some torrential rain that washes the salt out of my helmet and into my eyes, not pleasant.

Perhaps the rain is better than sweating a lot.
