Commuting to work by bike
in Cycling ·
I bike to work (plus the pool, grocery store, whatever...) regardless of the weather. I've got this thin wind & water proof jacket so I don't end up drenched in sweat. As for pants, I used to grab those cheap rain covers from Dick's Sporting Goods for like $15, but they were garbage. Water leaked right through the knees and butt. Recently picked up some pricier ones from REI and they're actually legit. Cost me about $150, but totally worth it. Tested them in a downpour and stayed bone dry.
I commute through Chicago every day too, and man, those lights are annoying. I’ve learned when I can just roll through a red light, though I always make sure no cars are turning. There was one spot where the button was busted, so you could never legally cross there if you wanted to...
