I also will wear ear flaps as a sweat band in the summer, not all the time, just most of the time. I look like freak show is what it comes down to. So I do not think it is wimping out, it is always better to be over dressed.
I just felt like a wimp because this spring, I was wearing shorts on my legs at +2C to +6C temps (more clothes on top because my upper body does less to generate heat than my legs) and this morning, it was +11C; I shouldn't have needed the extra layers (in the end, I was pretty sweaty when I arrived at work).
There is a Velominati Rule about tan lines (scroll down to
No. 4), so you're avoiding the whole challenge I take it, eh @
joeyduck?
BTW, does anyone have a link to the Velominati Rules, I went to Velominati.com and there is a link to "The Rules" but it is empty.
