Brrrr!
=v= Coldest day in NYC this winter. Time to get out my wind-
blocking balaclava. I go for the Zapatista del Norte look: http://www.bikewinter.org/bikewinter...keclothing.php I pine for the warmer days when all we had was lots of snow: http://www.times-up.org/ (That's me on the little Bike Friday.) _Jym_ |

=v= Is it hot out here or is it just me?
=v= It sure warmed up this afternoon, at least in Brooklyn. Didn't need the balaclava anymore. Seemed warmer than yesterday! Happy Biking, _Jym_ |

Wish I could have followed you! Wind chills here were in the minus teens! Dressed like a fully gorged tick complete with ski mask, ski helmet, and googles, I only made it 1 mile to the local Starbucks were I had to pay 3 bucks for a cup of burnt coffee so I could make it back home.

Ken asked:
So what do you cyclists do when the weather is this cold? (We have been warned here about frostbite.) I replied: more layers and only necessary commuting by bike. Ken complained: I don't have enough layers. I freeze at anything under 32 f no matter what I wear. My feet especially suffer. My personal recipe for keeping warm in the cold includes: let some air out of your tires to increase the rolling resistance; quit lubing the drivetrain; and carry around an extra 30 lbs of fat. Then even a short ride quickly generates enough heat to keep warm. I have no sympathy for you skinny guys on well-tuned bikes who complain about the cold. ;-) My thumbs do get cold these days, though. As soon as it gets up to 10F, I'm going for a little ride, just to fend off the cabin-fever. Most parts of me will be covered by 3-4 layers. "little ride" = no where near 10 miles. -- Bob Bayn Welcome to Cache Valley; o AUS/N&CS Please set your chronometer \__^\=* Utah State Univ back 20 years and 10 minutes. (O)""""o |

Ken complained: I don't have enough layers. I freeze at anything under 32 f no matter what I wear. My feet especially suffer. If your feet are cold, all I've found that works is a very warm hat. Either a pile hat (or hat liner under the helmet) is necessary when it drops under 32F (IMO) and the feet don't seem to suffer at all. Hands, however, are a different story. Good gloves aer a must, but even them, sometimes I have to wear a liner layer beneath them. I also need to wash them often as they reek after a couple of days of hard riding. Rick |
