It is time...

Beards are cheaper than buffs.

They can ice up themselves in freezing fog, though.

And I'm not sure where you can buy one.

Beard and wooly hat with peak for me. Lovely and warm

Time for the 'glasses' to come out too...
I use Bolle Vipers ( or similar), almost entirely clear plastic, bar the blue frame at the top. Very minimalist......but they keep the chill off your normally streaming eyes on frosty mornings. No more squinting.

You can get them, or anything similar at local engineering supplies, used to be about a fiver.

Beard for me, though alas it does leave my ears exposed... Maybe I should convert to the Jewish faith and grow some prayer-locks?

Make them bicycle locks - cheap solution to two problems

Yeah, but come on a beard.....

That's a bit drastic, isn't it? And surely it belongs on another forum!

Eww

Just ordered a black one with reflective tape for £12. Should be useful as I often get headaches in the winter in cold winds.

Buff or beard?

I've got a beard and it just seems to collect condenstation. When it first happened I couldn't work out why water water was dripping on my top when I got to work. At least it hasn't been cold enougth to freeze up yet though. So there's good and bad points for facial hair in the winter.

Buffs for puffs.

The cold weather is over now. Just touched zero last night, and getting warmer for next week.

Yes, I did my first sub zero ride and it was lovely, am doing my first full dark journeys now and to be honest I prefer it to when its light, or at least half light. So anything above freezing is a doddle.

They put the heaters on in the showers today so it was nice and warm and not frozen.

Colleagues keep asking if I am still cycling, they are terrified of getting damp on the way to the car or going anywhere below 24c.
