Email it to yourself and then it asks you the size you want to convert the image to.

A couple of early morning rides through the micro-climate that is Constantia/Tokai taught me that my long-finger gloves were not up to the task of 3 degrees C with wind chill.

Picked these up on the Ciovita sale, tested them out this morning, very nice!

Yep, round here in Tokai/Constantia your hands get COLD especially in the Greenbelt. I have ridden there recently and could not feel the hands and feet for a few minutes afterwards haha

On one particularly cold morning, I stopped at a robot and found myself looking longingly at the warm exhaust pipe of the car stopped next to me 🙈

commuting in winter has taught me that on those really cold mornings, a pair of surgical gloves under your normal gloves can be a life saver

That's actually a great tip, thanks Hairy! I will certainly use that next time I am commuting when it is cold

I tried that once, when I pulled the surgical gloves off a stream of sweat poured out.

Never realised my hands sweated so much when I cycled.

What batteries did you get from where?  GEL or AGM?  At that price probably not Lithium?
