Maps & Charting

How many days would you like to ride? Based on a formula that includes selected ambient temperature ranges when riding with Aerostich gear, this colorful map portrays a fascinating representation of the annual number of rideable days easily achievable annually throughout the United States. 38"×26"

ABOUT THIS MAP...

Statistics for the average daily and seasonal temperatures in thousands of locations are available from the US Department of Agriculture to help farmers know what kinds of crops to plant and when to harvest.

The different sizes of the numbers on the map correspond to the populations of the cities listed. In other words, a large number like Los Angeles have a lot of people, and the average low and high temps used by this formula are seldom exceeded there, so this city has lots of ridable days. In contrast, cities like Phoenix AZ and Duluth MN each have different size numbers based on their differing populations, but similarly few ridable days because in those places so many days are by this formula on average either too hot or too cold.

The high and low temperatures used (95°F and 25°F / 35°C and -3.8°C) are based on the temperatures which are easy to dress for with Aerostich gear. It’s always been comparatively simple to ride through temperatures between 95°F and 25°F over urban distances.

These pressurized (nitrogen-filled) ball points were actually developed so astronauts could write in outer space, but they are equally wonderful for marking damp maps, writing on soggy paper placemats, or philosophizing on greasy bathroom walls. The AG-7 (anti-gravity) is the same model that went to the moon and features a side-button action. And back in the day the ol’ Russians had to use pencils.

The Bullet model has a removable clip, and a short, smoothly-rounded shape that lets you carry it in the front pocket of your jeans without getting stabbed in the thigh (3.6" closed, 5.3" open) Specify: Chrome, Black finish or Solid Brass.

Great for tracing routes and marking mid-ride notes on the tank bag map window. The wax “leads” exit the end of the pencil with a twist of the cap and come in a variety of colors.

Ideal for writing down directions at a pay phone when you blow into town. Better than a highlighter for route-lining maps, too. Includes one pencil and four different color leads.
