I have committed to only driving when I absolutely have too.

With an ecargo bike and no fear of weather it’s rare to see me on 4 wheels.

Ride your bike as much as you can!

How do you deal with rain?

[–] hollywoodhoogle 1 points 2 years ago

It’s just water.

 The real challenge is finding rain gear that you’re comfortable wearing. After living years in a place with heavy rains and snow, I really like the quality of showers pass gear.

When you’re wearing heavy duty, rain gear, you’re likely to get very warm and possibly very sweaty. I mitigate this by wearing wool for breathability and riding at a slower pace so I don’t overheat.
