bike hacks for the rain

SF is not quite the pacific northwest when it comes to rain, but we do get our fair share. the SF rainy season is on the tiptopverge of starting, and as such, has apparently kept some riders unprepared, or some who have long adjusted to the rain and have accommodated their bikes.

unprepared, yet creative!

this homie knows what time it is in SF:

i love that umbrella placement!

as i've discussed before on the blog, this year my rainy season preparation has started with swapping out my steel rims for some aluminium ones. they are a noticeable improvement.

what do you do in order to prepare for the rain? what do you do if you are caught unprepared?

fall weather means fall outfits

it doesn't really ever get COLD cold here in sf, but there is definitely a chill in the air.

a couple of days ago, on one of those chilly days, i was riding behind a woman and her great outfit...

tweed jacket, rad bag, jeans and boots?! love it.

btw, she's doing one of ade's bag and foot down (AKA the SF STAND) observations.

happy friday y'all!
