      I love my castelli ankle socks & often pair them with a sleeveless jersey. Ewww high socks only good for winter and even that's a stretch.

      Sunglasses rule is not applicable here. To remove your helmet, you have to remove your sunglasses. I live in Florida. We do not remove our sunglasses.

      Dear Team, I really enjoyed watching your channel last year and I have to notice that your input has changed my life. Thank you. However yesterday I had my first big disappointment being a cyclist . I visited Springfield shopping outlet centre at Spalding UK , I was gently PUSHING my bike between the shops looking for a coffee following 15 miles ride and I was suddenly asked by the security guard to leave the shopping centre because PUSHING a bike is NOT permited at this shopping centre. This was confirmed by the lady from the information office. There were no signs displayed and no information in the website as well. So I did feel like a criminal pushing my bike there. I will be grateful if you help me with some information about this issue and if someone else had the same problem please share your experiences with me because I am shocked. Thank you!

      Win on the Chewbacca front for me πŸ™‚ Thank you so much reminding me that now I can tell anyone to shove off commenting on my hairy legs, because I come from the same town as the actor of Chewbacca πŸ˜€ And we come from probably the hairiest people on earth. Err… not something to brag of, never mind male and proud. Or a wookie?

      Glasses over straps is for crash protection. Ina bingle they can bend and fly off easily. If they are put under the straps they can't jump off and can do a real mischief to your cheeks under your eyes. Without a frame on the bottom they can leave a nasty looking scar on your cheekbones.

      I never thought of wearing the straps under until I saw the GCN videos. As someone who wears prescription glasses all the time, the glasses became part of my face and it never would have occurred to me to put the straps under.
