[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]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.
