i push a 100 pound bakfiets + me + 20 pounds of kid + gear, groceries, car set, etc. etc. in 'street clothes' almost everyday, including muggy, 90 degree vermont summer days. total load weighing about 380 - 400 pounds when we do a library and coop stop. and i have 5% city streets to 'climb'. no helmet, no spandex, no fancy shoes. yeah, i sweat. doesn't everyone? -mike On Dec 11, 10:59 am, "Bob Sutterfield" <[email protected]> wrote: > landotter wrote: > > littlecircles :: mike beganyi wrote: > >> Spandex, Helemt and Jersey too?
