He (I think it is a he - difficult to see) is always wrapped up against the elements, with hi-vis jacket, hat below helmet, full gloves over trousers, whatever the time of year. Difficult to understand how he/she can make it up the hill to Gilmerton without passing out. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10312#post-112473 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:31:59 +0000 Dave 112473@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm in SS jerseys now with arm warmers which this morning only lasted the first five minutes - plus fingerless mitts.</p> <p>Summer at last! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10312#post-112468 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:23:05 +0000 fimm 112468@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It has been quite chilly in the mornings - I have not felt overdressed in gloves at 7:30, but then I have been too hot in the afternoon. I did get the light jacket out today, which was the right decision. :o) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10312#post-112432 Fri, 31 May 2013 01:58:53 +0000 DaveC 112432@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My commute buddy and I spot the same lady heading for SQ in long black trousers, purple rain jacket, black gloves, snood/buff and cycle helmet, daily. She never changes winter or summer. I do wonder how sweaty these people get in all those extra layers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10312#post-112418 Thu, 30 May 2013 22:59:22 +0000 SRD 112418@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>not that i have far to go, but i went in in shorts and felt justified on ride home. i did get some funny looks at work though... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10312#post-112416 Thu, 30 May 2013 22:57:24 +0000 allebong 112416@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@stiltskin: I was down Portobello Promenade at around 9pm and found it pleasantly warm oddly enough. Though the first little chill made itself known once the sun had been clouded over. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10312#post-112414 Thu, 30 May 2013 22:53:30 +0000 stiltskin 112414@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It may have been sunny but it was freezing in Crammond this evening. Full jacket would've been the right idea! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10312#post-112411 Thu, 30 May 2013 22:32:49 +0000 Smudge 112411@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>No panniers to stash the mandatory yellow cycleborg jacket into?<br /> ;-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10312#post-112390 Thu, 30 May 2013 18:03:43 +0000 SRD 112390@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Really quite nice. </p> <p>So, why are so many people still riding about in full jackets, trousers etc? </p> <p>Just saw a crowd of cyclists go down the canal kitted out like it was January. </p>
