Our past winter in Seattle was horrible - either snowing, or just above freezing and raining. Reading this nice article makes me glad to live in the northern hemisphere.

If I lived in Queensland I'd ride in my freaking undies to work and be warm. I'm about to head out to work, I just had a look outside and I swear I saw a snowman riding past.

I read over it again and can't believe I missed winter cycling gloves! Queensland winters are still like 20 something degrees aren't they lol? I know you guys have very wet seasons so yeah mudguards will definately improve the ride. Make sure you get mounted ones and not the flimsy half arsed clip on stuff. Thanks for the kind words.

With winter edging every closer (It aint here in Qld yet?) I have been thinking about how to approach my cycle home. Cycling home isn't as bad as cycling to work because the day has already warmed up but I think I may invest in the mud guards for when it rains. Fantastic article.
