Jeez, can't believe I almost forgot about the commuter I saw yesterday on the way home. In case you haven't read all the NC posts lately, it's HOT here--it was about 96F yesterday on my ride home.
On the other side of the road yesterday I saw a guy riding up a steep hill in a nice high gear wearing jeans and a flannel (!) shirt with a backpack on. Considering the nearest residence to where I saw him is near where I live--at least 3 miles away--that guy must have been a puddle of sweat when he arrived wherever he was going.
