I live in Texas. Last year it was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 June, July, and August. For me, that's too hot, regardless of what I wear. I only ride before 10am in the summer.

Very smart. Thanks for watching.

You’ve got great screen presence. You could easily work on TV. I appreciate it when KZbinrs spend time in their delivery. 👍🏻

I appreciate it. I attribute it to good editing. Thanks for watching.

Texan here. 100° is not unusual. At 100 the air is basically a convection oven. Mesh gear with some water poured on it will cool you off.

[@sandmanrides4318]

Good suggestion. I think the rest stops would be more frequent. Thanks for watching.

Do they make dot helments that don't fog up I haven't found one yet but any surgeons be appreciated

Thanks for watching.

Good advice but sorry I am old school and in the winter I wear more and in the summer I wear less. This has worked for me for over 50 years as there wasn't any of this fancy gear back then.

Many old timers are of the same mind set. Nothing wrong with that. Ride the way you feel the most comfortable. How is the riding in South Wales? Thanks for watching.

@@sandmanrides4318 We are lucky in Wales as we can ride on mountain roads or main roads that lead to the same place. Thank you for your videos on how to ride a trike as I have had to convert from a motorcycle to three wheels. Ride safe my freind.

It's been over 15 years since I've owned a black helmet or jacket. Dark colors get hotter under the sun. I'd rather be cool than look cool. Stick to white.

Light colors keep you cooler and make you more visible. Thanks for watching.
