Altura Night Vision jackets and other stuff. I can see the point in, say, December.
Someone explain to me why anyone would pull up in a Night Vision waterproof on what everyone knows is going to be the hottest day of the year.

Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
1. Your body diverts the majority of blood flow to the skin for perspiring and cooling duties, leaving very little capacity for fuel, oxygen and waste transport to and from the muscles. As a result you end up doing far less work, in a joules/watts sense.
2. But the sweat doesn't evaporate so you don't actually lose the heat, meaning it feels much worse than it would otherwise. This is what dupes you into thinking it's "better" for you. No pain, no gain right?
3. You have a real risk of heat stroke, which is extremely dangerous.

It must really detract from the enjoyment when your liver is being poached.

I received a look similar to this in return :roll:
Strava
Have anybody else noted the number of commuters wearing full facemasks and scarves? Every day I spot a handful of them even when the temperatures are low 20.

I'm sure they filter something out (and if you ask a devotee they'd probably cite a blackened filter as "proof") but whether that actually translates into tangible health benefits is another matter. Unless riding through the aftermath of a chemical/biological weapon attack, I reckon the benefits of *not* wearing one (enhanced fitness because I can ride hard, improved mental wellbeing because I actually enjoy the ride) vastly outweigh any effects of pollution.
It's not quite the same thing, but I saw a thing on TV a while ago that suggested car drivers are exposed to more pollution, because their car's air intakes are much closer to exhaust level.
last week when it was still single digits here in the morning i made the mistake of ride in when a long sleeve jersey, the ride home however was in just bib shorts and i was still very warm.

jacket/over trousers back pack etc, and he rides a fair old distance, I've seen him en route home, a good 10 miles away. he's not fast but equally not slow either.
Is this the look you were hoping for?
Keeps the roads nice and quiet for my cycles up north.
I am not sure. You have no chance.

Surely a bag and a change of clothes would make his journey so much quicker.
Agreed. And yet when I restrict myself to just socks people get snotty about it...

I see you and raise you overshoes. Early evening yesterday, I was dripping in a jersey, shorts and shoes...

Hoping? I aspire to look that good

There's a guy working here who rocks up in a full coat, full gloves, trousers... the whole thing. This is because he has a skin complaint that would have him burning within seconds on a sunny day. He even wears full length SOCKS on his arms to make sure the sun can't get to them. He showed me a scar on his hand where he missed a bit.
Face masks / scarves - midges. Just. Midges.
