They also have those little mud flap ends on them. Cheers!

You need good fenders too, of course.kevbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525678948507566551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-77405186791374361172012-04-18T10:53:44.910-07:002012-04-18T10:53:44.910-07:00That video made me smile - especially with the goa...That video made me smile - especially with the goats!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-56132623238978631882012-04-18T10:25:35.518-07:002012-04-18T10:25:35.518-07:00Hello RETF!

What a bunch of stuff for one weekend, hope husband feels better soon! <br /><br />You know you have to special order the good waterproof fabric- i already checked this with my mum. She ended up going to Bi-Mart and they had a good selection of rain gear for about the same cost as 1 yard of fabric! <br /><br />I still haven't gotten rain gear but I really dont want to buy any until fall...hoping I'll be a size smaller.<br /><br />Have a lovely day!<br /><br />LindsayLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690091554153831460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-25741978255633079872012-04-18T10:21:28.238-07:002012-04-18T10:21:28.238-07:00Yeah your life sounds crazy right now.

Then I get to come back to it and spend a couple hours checking emails, reading blog posts, maybe writing a post of my own.<br /><br />I'm very glad to see you still going strong through all the ups and downs occurring throughout your challenge!<br /><br />The boys here are getting a bad start at their own attempts to commute by bike. The weather has suddenly decided to make up for lost time by dumping the normal winter precipitation all at once now. Most days are overcast and gloomy, which affects my mood some, and we get sporadic sprinkles and the occasional shower. None of the other bikes are equipped with fenders, and no one owns a raincoat. I've been getting by with luck, once a pair of trash-bag pants, once with a ride from a coworker, and once I broke down and drove the car.<br /><br />Then my husband sprained his ankle, so now he's definitely not going anywhere outside of a car.<br /><br />But, how do cyclists deal with rain??<br /><br />I'm guessing warm rain would be no big deal, but this cold near-freezing stuff is mighty daunting. <br /><br />I have a sewing pattern for a coat, but how to get appropriate fabric? I'd have to make pants to go with it to keep my lower half dry. I'd love to make one, but short of plastic (which wouldn't breathe) I don't know anything about waterproof fabric. I'm getting crafty-restless though, so SOMETHING is going to get made soon. <br /><br />I'm tired of drizzle. Rain for real or give me sunshine, darn it!<br />/sighRed-Eyed Tree Froggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254685243910741046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-85622689761053872142012-04-17T20:04:50.320-07:002012-04-17T20:04:50.320-07:00Wow! 4 miles that is good.
