Winter in Canberra

Winter here is not so bad, but I'd really like a pair of heated handlebar grips. I can stay warm enough either thick clothing, but I hate the clumsy feel of thick gloves.

I kind of envy BMWs with bar heaters built in. (Obviously I'm getting old to even think such a thing.) I suppose they would be available as aftermarket accessories for my Kawasaki. It's probably far enough through the winter here that I won't bother for now.

I rode and went the long way in to work. Beautiful and crisp, but not too cold (12C).
