Why do I get so cold on the bike?

[ComedyPilot]

she was?

Would I lie to you?

 

[trustysteed]

The bit that gets the coldest is my arse!

stop riding your bike backwards!

ha ha! a well dodged ping, phew!

 

[BigonaBianchi]

Ok next ride I will try just wearing two (poss three) merino layers and the jacket..I only have three black merinos so if that doesnt work not much will I think.

 

[Kirstie]

stop riding your bike backwards!

Cheeky mare! It's got the fewest layers on it, d'uh!

 

[trustysteed]

you put layers on your bike?

BigonaBianchi, is you a slenderella or a 'comfortably upholstered'-type person? If you are very slim i.e. very low body fat you will tend to feel the cold more than those of us carrying a little extra insulation!
I'll be interested to see if the 'less-is-more' theory works viz your layers.

Oh for crying out loud, on my ARSE, dammit, fewer layers on my arse

ah, that's where you're going wrong then! use more layers, dammit, it's obvious.

But they don't make arse layers...

This thread is no good without... er ... me getting my coat.

Kirstie, Trusty just wants to see the superman effect -pants over tights.

Though on a serious note..Ways to layer on the bottom half would be shorts with longs, or a pair of baggies on top of longs.

Hi Kirstie, you can get back warmers made of fleece that also cover the top of your bottom. I saw some on the Tchibo site recently, but can't find them now.
