Spring Riding Care

This is an old subject, but one I do not apologize for repeating.

There is a compelling Discovery Channel ducumentary which catalogs the first spring weekend after a long Minneapolis winter.

Everyone seems to be getting their bikes out and riding,
often without and significant clothing,
probably haven't even checked the tires.

But worst of all, is that many had enjoyed a few beers in the sun as well.

You need to see this program yourself for the mesage to really hit home - but just think about it for a moment before you drag your bike out in a hurry this spring.

Of course, make sure your insurance is still in operation.
Also wear some basic protective clothing. I find the Bohn Adventure Pants, which I wear under my jeans a great solution. There are matching zip up armored shirts too. See them at www.ActionStation.com
