Mopeds in Winter

[bolson]

There are temperatures that are totally fine on a bicycle that are not fine at all when going just twice as fast. I can do down to about 25F bicycling in just one layer of denim pants, but on my moped at 25mph anything below 40F is painfully cold on my knees and legs. I'm sure part of this is that I'm not working my legs and making heat there. Anyway, more layers tomorrow. Brr.

Wait, you got the moped? I somehow missed that. Neat!

How about one of those European moped-blanket-poncho things?

I've been commuting about 10 miles each way on it for the last couple weeks since I got it. I still need someone to take a picture of me on it, and then post something longer about my experiences with an electric scooter and my back roads commute at 25mph. Also, in my third welding class with Skunk I modified it ;-)

how'd you modify?
