Folks,
If you’re like me, you have a sidecar motorbike, you like to drive year round. And if you’re like me, it’s because you hate taxis for a multitude of reasons - those of which I will not go into now.
But, I have a small word of advice:
During the winter, check the damn weather report for current conditions before driving to work.
Today, I didn’t. Oh my god… Pain. Pain all over my body.
When I finally got to my office (lucky I didn’t freeze to death), I checked the weather on CNN’s website, and this is what I found:
New rule: no driving in below freezing with wind more than 5mph.

Did you make that up with Gimp? I noticed you left -1 | -8 (under -10). You’re really sensitive I think. How many layers are you wearing now? 3, 4?

Yeah, but Fred - remember, I’m on the bike, driving, at times 60 to 80 km/h. With no leg protection, the wind goes straight through the pants. And I don’t have a face-covering helmet, so - exposed skin!! ouch!
