Random non-important ride report
Rode 13 miles through moderate rain and gusty winds, temps in the 50's and falling. Arrived at work with no leaks in my gear (yay) and only a few slips of the tires. There's a curved bridge with grooved concrete decking and moderately tight radius that I go over. The expansion joints have steel plates and my tires slip sideways maybe an inch on each one, giving the bike sort of a shimmy-wiggle. Other than that and the occasional lock and release of the rear brake the ride was uneventful.
Someone really needs to invent a windshield wiper blade that straps to a finger. A search on Bike Bandit didn't yield anything. |

Rain-X? Can't tell you if you can use it on your face shield. You need to know what material it is made of.
