Time Change = Time for a change:


It got dark.  It got cooler.  And lately, it got wetter.

Thank heavens for indoor cycling!

Praise be to the makers of good, high quality rain gear.

Helmet covers may “look dorky,” but they work!

Chemical hand and foot warmers can be a real blessing.

Want to get a little more out of chemical warmers?  Use a couple of small containers.  Do a commute type ride in the morning, and then put the warmers in a small, air-tight container.  They will still be able to give you an hour or two of warmth for the ride home in the evening.

A cap with a bill, such as a cycling cap, when worn under a helmet, greatly improves visibility.  It helps keep a lot of the water off of your glasses.

Late Autumn and Winter just may be the best time to try mountain biking.

Fenders help keep you dry, and they help you make friends.  Fenders, with good mud-guard extensions keep you from throwing rooster tails up at your riding companions.

Cyclocross starting to look attractive to you?  Think about trying some weather riding on the road.

There is no such thing as being too visible.  Lots of reflectors, reflective tape, and lights.

It’s not possible to be consistent only part of the time.

There is no such thing as bad weather, only poor clothing choices.
