I currently play inline hockey and use a cage as face protection. After going back and watching the classic mighty ducks, i was wondering if there was any way that I can get either a cage or full face shield with that flip up feature the players have? It's so i can flip my cage/shield up when I get off to grab a drink.
Snow isn't as big of a concern as ice is, particularly packed ice underneath a layer of snow you can't see. The only way to get traction on ice is a set of studded tires. If you think you want to become a year round cyclist, a set of studded tires might be a good investment if you live in an area that gets a good bit of snow every winter. If snow and ice in your area is a sporadic thing, just stay off the bike when it is icy. Another consideration to keep in mind is that you need to make sure you keep your bike very clean when you ride it in the winter, as road salt will eat your components, which could cause accidents on down the road. Also, don't forget to drink plenty of fluids while riding in the winter. Even though you aren't sweating as much as in the middle of the summer, you can still dehydrate. Some claim that the electrolytes in sports drinks keep them from freezing as quickly as water, but I haven't tested that myself. If that is the case, you might want to fill your bottles with sports drinks instead of plain water. Also be sure to dress in layers, so if you get too hot, you can take something off. This will probably necessitate some sort of bag or basket on your bike. Fenders are also incredibly useful, both to keep salt and nastiness off of your bike, and to keep you cleaner and drier. Be sure to always ride with your lights on in the winter, even in the daytime, as motorists certainly don't expect there to be cyclists about. Don't be afraid to get off and walk the bike if you are in a heavily trafficked area with a lot of snow and ice on the road. If you lose traction and fall in front of a car, it may not be able to stop, and if it loses traction, it may not be able to avoid you. Alertness is key. Good luck!
For snow and ice put chains on your tires.
Raising a baby can be very hard, my sister is aged 18 and she has a little girl, she had to buy all new stuff because we didn't have any nice 2nd hand stuff. in all the nursery cost her ?1240pounds. she might have brought expensive stuff, but yeah. It's not just a nursery! when the baby is born you need toys, nappies, dummies, food, bottles, highchairs, books etc, and then when there about 5 there going need more and more! remember only bring this child into the world if you think you are financially ready because other wise your not giving it the best possible life it needs:)
