Oh shorts down to at least 5C, maybe 0C. The legs soon warm up and I don't have any tights so long legs tend to be trackie bottoms which are pretty warm.

I check the outside thermometer before I set off. Roughly I go for:
15+ C = Short sleeve T shirt 10-15 C = Long sleeve T shirt 5 - 10 C = Short sleeve T under long sleeve T 0 - 5 C = Long sleeve T under Jacket -5 - 0 C = Short sleeve T under long sleeve T under jacket
What's your minimum temperature for shorts? I went on a 25km trip this afternoon, temperature between 11° and 12°C. I felt fine in shorts, yet got a number of stares suggesting that I was just ever so slightly off my rocker ...
Hoods are a big no no when cycling. It is *very* important to be able to look behind. A hood can very often restrict vision.

In my youth, we wore those yellow oilskin capes and sou'wester hats. My specs *may* have developed a rose tint, but I don't remember having rain down my neck. -- Alex

A mudflap on the front mudguard makes a big-huge difference - even with full length mudguards riding through puddles gets spray onto ankles and shoes.

Molish your own mudflap in true Blue Peter style. Traditionally these were made from old washing-up liquid bottles, but these are no longer all cylindrical.

The oval Fairy ones are obviously to provide different profiles for different mudguards: get your mummy or daddy to cut it one way for fat tyres, the other way for that racing-tyre lean look! N.B.: I have not tried this at home, nor do I have one I made earlier.

And don't forget, you can make them in all sort of different colours by the careful application of sticky backed plastic.

And also don't forget you can use a bent wire coat hanger to make a stay for it. If you don't have a wire coat hanger ask Mummy or Daddy if they have an old Blue Peter Christmas Star in the loft you can use.

Ooh! Good idea, thanks 🙂 I'm not sure what they're meant to look like, though - any pics or stuff?
