Shanghai Cycling: Hardcore
A few weeks ago, because it was raining, I decided to take a taxi. Of course, all the other fair-weather cyclists had the same idea, so I hung around ages waiting for one, and got to work late, stressed, soaking wet and breakfastless. Never again. So a couple of times this week , I've had to deploy the rain cape. Yesterday in particular was a real subtropical downpour. It was fine, though. Less bikes than usual, and everyone was being slower and more careful. I've realised, though, that the rain cape is a bit too small for me, and why does it have sleeves in it?
