Might look into putting some on my bike, but given the quality of the other accessories, I am not optimistic.
Bike is going fine in the cold. The hardest thing is contemplating doing any work on it with freezing hands!
Pretty serious, if a glass breaks in your hand while turning it. Nice L-shape cut at the bottom of my thumb, 4 stitches!Quote:

No - I brought my jacket from UK. Never thought I would wear it again, but very glad of it now.
Let me know if those crappy hand protectors keep out the wind.
I saw some dodgy-looking DIY heated grip accessories on TaoBao for 15RMB:

as your bike is a bit of a TaoBao express, you should try them out!
I look forward to having a Pabst Blue Ribbon with you sometime!
Worth a try for only 15 RMB, just hope it doesn't work to good and melts your grips onto your gloves! Perhaps you can add a few in your seat too!Quote:
