Did I?</p> <p>It was great but the pouring rain on the way home highlighted one shortcoming of the arrangement. The big bag wasn't waterproof. Of course, I knew that before I went. You couldn't expect much of a 140l bag that cost £17 from Amazon. And it was on the way home so no one cared about stuff getting wet. It was all destined for the washing machine. </p> <p>Anyway, I've got (at least I had) a big bit of waterproofed canvas so it was a relatively easy task to run up a cover for it, with lots of room for expansion for even bigger loads.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/instography/9436978612/" title="IMG_0571 by instography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5451/9436978612_006853db4e_n.jpg" alt="IMG_0571" /></a></p> <p>More photos <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/instography/sets/72157634922695351/">here</a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=784#post-6832 Wed, 12 May 2010 09:45:08 +0000 steveo 6832@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What do folk (who bother) use for water proofing on their legs? I could never get into the just get wet mindset, i think i'm part cat, but the waterproofs i've used all winter are boil in the bag and i can't use them if its not -5. </p>
