365 days to be greener

I was looking at my wardrobe today and I am suffering from the 80/20 rule. I only wear 20% of my wardrobe but I wear it 80% of the time. There are many things in there that don’t fit me, don’t suit me, and lets face it, will never be worn again.

I posted a while back about the ulcer I am growing over people that ride their bikes without helmets on.
There really is no excuse now – check out these certificated bicycle safety helmets from Moody and Farrell
