You'll need:
- water prrof, non-slip riding gloves so you don't slip off the handlebars while trying to brake.
- Bright, reflective, tight-fitting rain jacket
- Flashing lights front and rear
- Clear or yellow tinted riding glasses that can handle that rain-off(tm) stuff (or equivalent).
- water-proof booties to go over your riding shoes.
- thermals if it's cold enough.
- Normal riding gear
- A towel
- Someone to offer you a lift just as you step out of the house all geared up.
Pity you're not in Canada else you could have fun with these[^] :D cheers, Chris Maunder

Hehe. There are a few icons that aren't in the "official" lineup. For instance: :vegemite: or :baaaa!: or :jig:
Picture a huge catholic cathedral. In it there's many people, including a gregorian monk choir. You know, those who sing beautifully. Then they start singing, in latin, as they always do: "Ad hominem..." -Jörgen Sigvardsson
Hmm... let me have a go at this. :jig: :vegemite: :love: :beer: Cool! I've learned something new today! -- modified at 15:41 Friday 4th November, 2005

Nicely done. I can't run to save my life. I was going to ask anyway so here goes... Anybody got any tips for cycling to work in what is usually cold and wet weather? It gets pretty cold here, though not likely to snow I am told. Plus it rains a good deal (being Ireland and all.) Our offices have shower stalls so when I arrive I can have a hot shower. Brian reckons I will get sick riding to work but I want to do this and there must be some riding gear out there that can help. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Colib and ilikecameras.

Most cycling shops have lightweight plastic pants. I myself cycle to work in a very natty plastic get-up :-) Drivers in Ireland are short sighted and stupid so wear bright colours and flourescent strips and keep away from them wherever possible.

i've been seeing a physical therapist for a couple of months. he gave me some inserts, a bunch of stretches to do, etc.. the only running i've done is on his treadmill, so he can evaluate my stride. all in all, it seems to have made the problem worse. i question the Intelligence of the Designer.

Actually I heard that intense exertion actually depresses your immune system thereby making you slightly more likely to pick up the lurgy de jour cheers, Chris Maunder

Well, my information is probably really out of date, but when I was really into it, my understanding was that being in good to really good shape helps you out. But when you pass over into the realm of a world calss athlete, then you run a higher risk of getting sick, because of things like reduced body fat (I believe world class runners are at 4-5% body fat) etc. I have no idea if that is in fact true or not. Then again I haven't been sick in almost 4 years (knock on wood) and that's without exercise. So who knows! :) ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

I am finding Irish driving to be absolutely mad when you take into consideration the narrow roads and blind corners. So if a pink girls bike will get me noticed better I'll be happy to get it :-D regards, Paul Watson Ireland Colib and ilikecameras.
