While searching (unsuccessfully) for Flecc's pannier bags, I came across this. Can you believe it??

The things one sees
- Thread starter tgame

The multi-coloured version looks to have reflective strips, too, Tony - presumably so that you can be clearly seen... being blown off the road as you catch a sudden gust from the wrong direction 
. I hope they have the same reflective strips on the inside surface too - so you can still be seen once its blown inside out!
Nice find though, made me smile - thanks.
PS The origin of the name - REGI - eludes me, but it just reminded me of Reggie Perrin, as in 'the fall and rise of...', the clothes on the beach & the infamous hippopotamous (mother-in-law) scenes! Does that mean using such a device could become known as 'doing a Reggie'?! (bowler hat not included)

Tail wind - would be a benefit
Side wind - you could practice bouncing of the hedge or passing cars
Head wind -
Stop you dead in your tracks

i would therefor find a route that is backwind going and backwind returning, there must be them as there seems to be loads headwind both ways...
You could fit a sail to your bike (which I saw somewhere online recently) but you'd have to practice 'tacking' your way /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ along the road!

as the roads seem to be full of pot holes and the drain covers crop up every 20 seconds i feel im tacking all the time anyhow..You could fit a sail to your bike (which I saw somewhere online recently)
