Cold, Cold, Cold

Boy was it cold this morning 5:30am and it was -3 took quite a few miles before i was warmed up I'm glad i decided to put my fleece lined tights on this morning.

My toes started to freeze up after about 8 miles and i thought my ears where going fall off need to look out my skull cap.

What do you folks wear on cold frosty morning?

Yeah we had the wind & rain yesterday, wet i can handle but freezing feet and ears makes me want to cry like a little wuss.

It was probably about +3 in Glasgow, but is was a beautiful morning for cycling. These are the commutes I live for!

Isn't that one of the vehicles they used in Spielberg's AI?

Where does the engine go?

And more seriously... do you find you get more or less respect/space when you're using that than on a standard 'bent?

People treat you as a motor vehicle, one with spikes sticking out of it, they seem scared to drive anywhere near you. It is similar to the effect when on a trike but more so.

jeans, t shirt, hoodie - the usual really!

thicker socks, an old Tog fleece that was my dad's in the 80's, sometimes thats substituted for a thick wooly jumper, sometimes have a base layer on instead.

got my waterproof biking jacket too and a thin knitted hat to go under my helmet.
