One odd observation. All the cycle commuters I ran across were wearing jackets. It was 65 degrees out there. What the hell is wrong with people? It was perfect shorts and T shirt weather.
Oh, I almost got run over by a bulldozer. But, that's a story for a different day.
I do not understand what people wear a majority of the time. You should see some of the get ups a certain group of people tend to wear to avoid the sun here in Vancouver. That being said I have always worn earflaps/headband, even in the summer. I have sensitive ears and I dislike the wind in them, plus it absorbs some sweat and keeps it out of my eye.
Sunday morning I stepped outside to get going for the day. I was in a tee-shirt and jeans and I said, "Ohh it is rather pleasant out here." Ten seconds later my wife steps out, gives me a cock eyed look, states that it is freezing, and returns to the house. a minute later she comes out with a down vest, jacket, and winter hat?!
Yikes, bulldozer? Construction trucks are bad. Presumably you are okay?
