Subject: RE: BS: On your bike
Well I don't need Lycra to stand out and get me all sweaty, thanks. I have a day-glo yellow helmet that does the standing-out for me. In the old days I had a Sam Browne belt in fluorescent yellow.

For anything other than short hops I have some nice, loose cycling shorts with a chamois insert. At one time I used to buy shorts made by Bellwether, but I haven't seen them for sale for years. I'm thinking of getting a Brooks B17 saddle. For years I wouldn't settle for anything less. As I like to walk normally upon dismounting I've never had cleats, preferring toe clips with adjustable straps. Can't do either on a Brompton, it seems, but I'm sure I'll adapt.
