This morning it was in the mid 40s F and the high is only supposed to be 67. I just started commuting this summer, so each new weather situation requires wardrobe contemplation. Sunday morning was a little warmer and tights over shorts worked nicely. For the commute, I decided to try riding in jeans since I'm not sweating much these days. Then on top I went with a long sleeve technical shirt, a track jacket and my biking windbreaker over that. Also got to try out my new winter biking gloves. Fingers were happy! My torso got a little sweaty, but not too bad. I'll just ditch the extra jacket on the way home. It was nice only changing some of my clothes rather than doing a full change like I've been doing.
This weekend I finally wrestled fenders onto my bike. That should guarantee that it doesn't rain on a week day for months on end.
People in cars this morning seemed extra cranky. All honking and impatient with each other. Luckily none of it was directed at me this time. I still think my purple panniers with flowers on them diffuse people a little.
