Honestly I don't notice it unless I'm stopped in traffic. Fortunately
my commute requires only a couple of brief stops - usually only half a minute
to a minute max. The midsection of my commute is a nice, new 5 lane freeway
that hums along nicely at 80+ mph (59N from the new ballpark to FM1960 for
those who're wondering - I work in the medical center and live in Spring). I
wear just jeans on my lower body for commuting, though I do wear a Vanson
full-perf jacket, gloves, and a helmet.
YMMV,
