Re: oh dear oh dear - summertime
Someone has to supply the donor organs I suppose...
Yesterday I rode around richmond park at 20 mph with my gloves off and jacket undone. It felt really nice, kept me really cool. I can understand why people are tempted to ride without full kit....but the benefits don;t outweigh the risks. Riding home from richmond park (now zipped and gloved up) i got hot, very hot, but as long as I kept moving it was bearable. And if I got too hot, then I'd just stop and have some water and sit in the shade.
Saying that, I really wish I wore jeans. They owuld have been easier to get off when I got home than my leather trousers, they where stuck to me!!!
Ride safe
