I did change before riding. Hot weather poses a slight problem with this bike, since wearing modern racing style kit doesn't seem right, but what can one do?
Judging by old photographs it would appear that men born before 1900 were capable of cycling during the summer wearing a jacket (probably tweed!), waistcoat and plus twos with long woolly socks. I don't know how they did it, and I cannot. Perhaps this is a symptom of the degeneracy of our age?
