Oversocks? In August? Surely some mistake

Rule 5 of the Velominati "Harden the f*ck up"

See http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/

Fun but not to be taken too seriously

I hear people referring to rules, like above (rule 5?)

You may laugh at my next question, as it could just be people being sarcastic, but im fairly new to the road cycling scene. Is there actually a set of rules/guide?

As id like to, as much as possible, be a good cyclist who doesnt prevoke pointless road rage. Although sometimes we all know we cant do right.

Thanks

I did a time trial with HHCC earlier this year wearing a waterproof jacket and winter gloves it was that cold...

Like the above comment.

Rule 5?

Try living in the West of Scotland. Last Thursday, the deluge was such that I had on the full winter waterproof jacket plus neoprene overshoes. The ridiculous thing was that I had to wear shorts because the temp was in the high teens and I really would have boiled in the bag!

On most commute days, I carry clothing spares or at least warmers... as you can never count on the weather here.

That EMX-3 looks very nice

How'd it ride?

Back to packing strange things all year round, I always pack a set of DHB Arm warmers whenever i go out on my bike, even if its a scorching hot day. You never know!
