Really enjoying this year's commute so far. Kiddie is now going to preschool about 2km from my house en route to work. Wife (with car) drops him off with fevastar seat and helmet for me to pick him up after work on my way back. 2y olds aren't the best storytellers...but damn he gets excited to give me the lowdown theretin front on his yellow foam throne. Best 5min of my day. Everyday.

Also. Last year my question was whether the schwalbe marathon plus tyres are worth the extra weight/rolling resistance. In short. Yes. Think I'd have more luck puncturing permatubes.

So the morning commutes are starting to cool down, what do you Cape Town commuters wear to beat the chill and possible rain shower? I'm thinking about some new gloves and a waterproof backpack I've seen.

I've already got some leg warmers and a Lumo First Accent jacket.

I just grow my chest hair!

 

Bad jokes aside, layers, layers and layers.

 

Usually flipping cold in the morning and nice on the way home, so just remove or add layers for the occation and get a gillet and light weight windbreaker that can hopefully also act as a rain shell.

 

A rain shell, or water proof back pack is a must!

 

Long finger gloves are essential, if it gets really cold I have a pair of thicker gloves, but I also just wear a pair of nitrile gloves under my gloves if it is really cold and wet.

 

Leg warmers, never used them.

Chest hair not a problem, it all migrated down from the top of my head ^_^ , Like the layers idea.
