the bike ride in today fooled me. Listened to the radio for the temp and thought they said 38 or something. Looked outside and it looked cloudy and for some reason left my rain gear, which had been drying out. I mean I deliberately left it behind. I usually carry it with me pretty much everyday unless it's an absolute certain no rain/snow day. Well, got out of the house and down the road about 200' and a snow squall started that intensified for the whole 10 mile ride to work so that I was pretty wet by the time I got there. I have new rain gear on the way- maybe that's why I left this home- it's so old and I've "revived" it so many times it's just not that good. But it would have been better than nothing today.
My new yellow, reflectorized gloves really seem to make a difference when signaling lane changes! I think I've tried gloves like this years ago with similar results but eventually I lost them or something and never replaced them- they're good though.
