It's wet and cold

Any bike shop or sporting goods store should have one. They're pretty cheap. I use one instead of a rubber band because I like the added reflection. I keep a couple in my bike bag because I'm not always wearing tights.

I'm getting one ASAP!

I wear glasses too, and I find that a standard cycling cap works well for me to keep most of the rain off. There will still be some, but it won't be as bad (unless the wind is blowing the rain directly in your face).

The caps are thin cotton, made to fit well under helmets and can be easily combined with earbands or full-coverage insulating head coverage.

On another note, I had a couple of pairs of blackbottoms shorts, and I didn't feel that they held up very well.

it has been snowing here since yesterday afternoon. The roads were icey and the temps in the 20's. It was very slow going without studded tires, but I made it It's fun riding in different kinds of conditions. Though, I think I may wear goggles in this sort of weather for the rest of the season...

Studded tires are on order. Sigh. I hate winter!

Drats! Oh well, I figure for $15 if they last me a season on the trainer (what they'll be worn for during the winter mainly), I'll have gotten my money's worth. I only wear tri shorts on the bike outside, but inside on the trainer I have to have a HUGE padding or my bits and pieces get angry.
