Re: So commuting by bike
Right then feed back.
So I walk out the office having put on textiles. God it is lashing it down. So put on helmet to walk the 20 yards to my bike. Poor thing has never seen rain like it.
set off and stop before I have left the car park the visor has steamed. Quick wipe and set off again, and stop. Bloody ignorant cage driver has pulled over to be about 3" from a traffic island. If he is going nowhere, neither am I.
eventually get past and then discover my visor leaks, rain is running down the inside. I can see sod all, filtering is great but not when oncoming traffic is blinding you. All I can see is glare.
I then get away from it, but tyres are old, road is just one huge puddle, and I cannot see the white lines until I feel my tyres slipping on them.
Eventually get home safely, My mouth has dried out as I have just travelled 25 minutes on adrenaline and petrified it is about to be my last.
More heavy rain forecast, so car in this morning. At least I know my textiles are waterproof. New lid needed though
