Hi-Tech Hi-Vis

I felt a bit scruffy (but safe) wearing a factory Hi-Vis jacket when out on my bike,
so I invested in a bit of high-tech waterproof kit that covers my bottom too!

Boy, was I pleased I had it on today. In the failing afternoon light,
I set off down the (traffic-free) cycle trail, had a puncture, replaced the inner tube, then rode back in the dark and pouring rain.
And I'm supposed to be a 'fair-weather' cyclist!

But the High-Tech/ Hi-Vis jacket kept me warm, dry and safe! I took this picture before it got covered in mud! Great fun today, though!!!

Have a good weekend, everyone!! Just over three weeks to Christmas!! ROTFL! ;0)

Replaced the inner tube?????
You have on the color that firemen and emergency people wear. So, you could be either.
Happy Friday.

What a cheesy grin LOL!
I like a man who is not afraid to wear a bit of colour LOL.
Gary Winters30-Nov-2007 23:09
I can so relate to what you're wearing. I need something like that. Like you, I'm a daylight rider almost exclusively, but occasionally get caught out a bit too late and the light has faded. Good SP!
