That's a very nice looking jacket. Much more sytlish than my bright yellow.

Actually, your red motif is very well executed. The trailer fits in there as well.

You should be on bikefancy.com! It looks like you have clip in pedals, but your boots don't look like they have cleats....

Thanks, ya'll! Mark-my pedals have clips on one side and are flat on the other side. One of my best cycling investments.

Jami--I just can't do the yellow jacket. I did have one when I first started biking year round, but I hated the color on me. I figure since it is something I will wear 4-6 months of the year, I might as well like it. This one is a marmot (s?) shell. Does not have a super long tail or reflective elements, but otherwise it is great. I might add some reflective tape.

I also recently invested in a dressier, warmer, longer coat for shorter rides and walking. I refuse to be cold this winter!

Gin

Gin, then you'll be happy to know that I found a slightly longer pit-zip wind breaker at Salv Army today to replace my bright orange crossing guard one. The hood even has a visor flap which I never even knew I wanted until I wore it out in the bright sun today.
