For the past few years, my winter riding has fallen off to just a few

sore throats after I ride in the cold. Some of the sore throats have
degenerated into scary bronchitis.

I'm just curious if anyone else battles this problem, and if anyone has
any tips on preventing it.

Hi there Frank. I use one of these masks from a Dollar store when the
air temperature is cold and I might be breathing heavily. It works
marvelously - like having a heater for your air.

That type of mask will probably be good enough. However, if it
doesn't work, look into various "cold weather breathing masks" such
as:

The description explains how it works. There are also full face
versions and those with attached goggles, which will probably not be
necessary. Mo

Just the thing for riding to the bank to make a withdrawal!
