HOW TO: Stay warm and dry on your bike

lols.. kinda.. the hospital called it a "mullet" finger. Tore the ligaments right out of the last joint.. imagine a very straight finger, with the last segment hanging down & not able to do anything with it.. it wasn't pretty..

On the ACC form where it asks 'how did you injure yourself?'... I put "getting undressed"..

Awesome! That's a fantastic injury, if painful sounding.

I like those over-boots, although I'll see the dubbin stands up in the heavy rain first.

Dubbin rots the stitching.

I have never broken anything, so not sure how painful breaking a bone is but this.. was the weirdest "feeling".. wasn't a sharp pain.. but a bloody unusual one.. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the time..

They are good.. even just to use in the cold.. without the rain.. they keep ya feet from freezing solid!!

I have overboots too, I always seem to forget to take them but they are so frinkin hard to get off & they the toes flap around while riding- I'm not surprised you did some serious damage trying to get them off J.

Would love heated grips but find they are bulky even the oxford ones

Friggin good advice most of this. Like the extra long dishwashing gloves idea too, sounds smart enough and definitely worth it on a long run I reckon.

but they are so frinkin hard to get off

Was as simple as putting plastic bags over my bike boots, before putting the over boots on chick!! straight on & straight off!

Buy a bra. I swear they're the easiest things to injure yourself on out of clothing items. You could wrench a shoulder perhaps? I've never done it but I've seen people complain of similar things before!

Never had a problem with it - maybe it only rots cotton stitching?

Can't see it affecting nylon thread.

There ya go,I distinctly remember getting twatted in the eye by the wifes bra strap now. I've not worn it since.

Sorry
