    Well, today was one of the rare days where my trousers got wet under the rain trousers, but I was going home, so it wasn't too bad. Again, dry feet, which I think once again shows that most of what soaks your feet is spray from the front wheel.

    Mudflaps are fcuk all use when passing traffic is throwing water over you. Drumcondra outbound this afternoon for example - river flowing down the bus lane so every passing bus and taxi sent a wall of water over anyone in the cycle track.

    I was lucky enough that the traffic was totally stationary, though the cycle track was flooded.

    To be fair, it wasn't the mudflap that was keeping the spray away from my feet today: it was the 80cm or so extra distance from the front wheel to your feet that you get with a cargo bike, and the wooden box.
