• Glasgow has exactly the same number of downpours as anywhere else in this septic isle, they just last a little longer, generally 0.97 of a month each with a 0.03 pause for surprising yet chronic sunburn.

  • My rainwear needs are probably a little different from most. I do hot food deliveries on my bike a few times a week, so it's not one ride then changed into dry clothes like a commuter. It's several runs with long periods on sitting around being damp. No real easy way of mitigating that too much.

    When i'm out on my roadbike for fun I definitely use overshoes etc. Mudguards probably the most important thing, without them your arse, legs, back and feet get a lot wetter, a lot quicker. Can't understand any commuter who doesn't use them.
