I ride 50 km every day after work (unless I have a late meeting or some 
similar perversion). I have proper bike clothes, because it is simply better 
to ride if you are wearing a comfortable maillot and biking shorts with a 
pad to protect your crotch. But I am afraid that I won't have any pics of 
myself with the Leica and that outfit. As I learned last year, Leica M8 and 
sweating do not mix. And when you cycle in a warm place like Alicante you 
sweat a lot. So the Leica stays home. One thing I have learned is that an M8 
is a lot more fragile than the film Leicas of yesteryear. Yes, I know that 
Tina routinely dunks hers in Central American rivers etc., but I think my 
experience is more representative.

Cheers,
Nathan
