Sorry, It’s Not Going to Happen

I guess I’m not just a ‘ride in the winter’ kind of guy. For one reason, I don’t have the proper clothing. Where does a guy with a 42″ waist and a 30″ inseam find bike pants to keep the wind out? I bought an XL pair, and I couldn’t even pull them up! I thought that The Amazing Shrinking Man! had found something, but no pants, only tights. I used to have a pair that I got from Performance Bike or Bike Nashbar several years ago, but I lost them in a move.

The weather hasn’t stopped these brave souls:

• Urbana-Champaign Bicycle Commuter
• Steve in Halifax
• Year Round in Buffalo
• The Cycler

I guess Stormcrowe and I will have to try another day.

(OK, now I’m looking through the Performance Bike site, and a couple of the pants look promising. More later.)
