Squirrels gather nuts; bicyclists add layers

My daughter and I have been riding the bike every day for what seems like weeks. I can’t remember the last time we took the car.

I’ve been thinking more about what we’ll need in order to keep warm when it gets colder. I devised an excellent helmet hat for my daughter using a knitted cap that was a little too large. When stretched out, it fits over her helmet beautifully. The hat is olive green and makes her look a bit like a GI ‘in the field’. But she likes it and is happy to wear it, which is the most important thing.

For myself, I figured out a layered strategy which will make it possible for me to continue wearing my favorite parka in very cold weather.

So, I think we’re ready.

Not that we’re in any hurry…

    I just saw these pictures of what is supposed to be the ‘ideal urban bike’ as imagined by Norwegian designers. What do you think? It needs a load of accessories of course (rack on the back and a child seat and so much more).
