I Have Been Advised To, "Get A Wool Jersey That Says MOLTENI On It"

[chronographia]

The weather is cruel as only late January knows how - longer days with a little sunlight pouring in, golden and harsh. And temperatures consistently below freezing, wind cutting right through you. The weather keeps this interspersed with horrible slushy muck enough to continually string you along with hope. The L'Eroica post on refinement makes me long to dust off the Transport of Delight and pedal around the hills. Sigh.

(Oh the striped racing sweaters! Glee!)

Velocipedal things to look at instead:

• Classy cycling breeks. Swoon.
• Looking at the state of the local roadways, you'd be shocked and astonished to know that people actually bike on them. Seriously. (Now all they have to do is expand their efforts outside the one county.)
• These folks are just what I need, since no one seems to make A Girl's Own Book of Bicycle Repair. I look forward to being able to gearshift without dying in the process. ♥
