Necessity is the Mother of Invention

Tongling Sunday December 15, now that it's midwinter all the electric moped riders bop around town wearing this odd mix of padded comforter with a chest covering flap, attached to a pair of oven mitts. It solves two problems: riding a drafty bike in winter and having your coat ripped off your back if you actually wear it with the opening in front. However, I think that riding around in this get up must create new problems, e.g.,with aerodynamics. However, they don't ride fast, so if the flap pops up and hits you in the face, perhaps you won't really hurt yourself when you crash and fall off the bike.
