Brreezing Along
Now the wintertime is coming,
The windows are filled with frost.
I went to tell everybody,
But I could not get across.
On the subject of bundling up, we have a couple of posts so far, one on gloves and one on coats. Who would have thought this would be a fitting context for skirts? David Hunter of the SF Bay Area asks us, What do you do when it rains? Answer: 1) Use more caution and less throttle, 2) Breathe deeply the negative ions and smell the freshness, 3) Let the rain bounce off and try to avoid letting the rain puddle in the groin area. The invention many riders have imagined when set with this third challenge has been finally and marvelously executed by Ruben of ScooterSkirts.com and Oakland, California. That's your neighborhood, David. Incidentally, the kind of weather we're feeling even on days like today is really nothing to complain about compared to the many places where scooters spend whole snowy months indoors. And with that, I put on my Swiss Army coat of rubberized canvas and am off to traverse cablecar tracks, to defy the slickness, to enjoy the ride.
