Well, it's been a few days since this thread has been active.
What's new?
I have been buying cycling clothes for my son! So, it's a vicarious thrill. My DH already gave him a thermal jacket, some regular and long fingered gloves, a few head covers. So far, he is still commuting, even at temps in the low 40s in the AM. But, he definitely wants to get a road/touring bike and "train" some next spring. I bought him 2 pairs of shorts, which I scored for $19.00 each, at STP. Then I researched like crazy, and got him a pair of thermal tights, unpadded for $80, reduced from $160.00 at Backcountry.com outlet. Today, EMS had their club day, so I got him a regular cycling wind jacket which is really light and reflective, for 20% off.
I think I'd better stop. My DH ordered him a pannier, so I am going to put it all in the pannier and give it to him next Friday, on his birthday.
