What is the last thing you put on before riding?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Depends. In winter, it has to be the fat-a#@ gloves because once the gloves get on, fingers become pretty much useless except for hitting brakes and changing gears !!

If it is summer, helmet.

I'm not so anal retentive that I put stuff on in the same order every time. I put on the last thing that I haven't put on yet.
