Who's looking forward to commuting this winter?

[Hip Priest]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

Aren't you?

Looking forward to it? I'm relishing it mate. I'll be commuting on the aero TT bike, as I do every winter.

I wouldn't say I was looking forward to it, as I much prefer riding in warm conditions, but I'll still commute. Only missed 2-3 days last winter, due to very icy conditions.

The best thing about winter is the macho willy-waving on here! "Yeah, well I did my 25 mile e/w commute to Antarctica on 23mm slicks and didn't wear gloves....etc"

I wear bib shorts, road shoes and short sleeves until it hits -5c, only then do I need my 3/4 bibs..

Sleeves? You mean to tell me you wear a top when it isn't even -5c? You big girl's bra.

My commuter now is something I can control a bit easier, so hopefully wont come off this winter.

I do have all the right kit and wrap up warm in winter. The cold isnt really the problem, its when you loose feeling to your fingers and toes that annoys me most.

Then you haven't got the right kit.

Why aye man!

And what is it that causes you to lose feeling to your fingers and toes, if it's not the cold?

The Bristol Railway Path first light after heavy snow. Eerily quiet, except for the snow crunching under your wheels. Bit of a bobsleigh run, but fun nonetheless.

You are welcome. Best bloody invention in recent years. People don't believe me when you say you have metal studs in your tyres.

Tights/leggings will keep bits warm. Or roubaix shorts/longs.

I have roubaix leggings but they don't cover me balls, bit worried about the little men.

I use normal bibs and wear roubaix leggings over them, never had a problem. I think once last year i put a pair of running tights over them as it was something like -8 when i left. (and i was on 23mm tyres )
