I commute in my work clothes, I'm already wearing the winter jacket and the woolly gloves, I don't suppose it will be long and I'll be wearing the sweatshirt and woolly hat. On the Sunday rides I'm in summer cruisers, though the winter cruisers and overshoes were worn a couple of Sundays ago, it won't be long before they are worn on every ride.

I find these clothing adjustments for winter a little amusing.
I wear what I consider normal cycling clothing throughout the year and just peel off a layer or two for a few weeks in summer.

Ive had my tights on for the last few weeks as it's chilly on the early commute now. Trouble is it's cold at the start and hot and sweaty by the time i get to work but i can't be bothered to stop and remove layers.

anything above 0°C is still shorts weather.

What he said.
Although overshoes are going to be the next purchase me thinks. I'll take cold over wet any day.

I got a nice set of thick Ronhill tights on standby for when I'm eventually declared fit to ride.

Arm warmers that you can roll down TdF style are a godsend for just this occasion

I'm into tights/leg warmers already and have been for a week or so - with a L/S base layer and S/S jersey plus arm warmers if needed.

So have I, but the ride home is a little warm.

Na,
its just that my luxuriant leg hair keeps me warm all year round, i even wear shorts normally when out and about in the winter.
if i could get away with it i'd wear a kilt.

Cue joke "is anything worn beneath the kilt?" "no its all in perrrrrrfect working order"

 

[Trail Child]

I'm still wearing longer shorts in Canada ...

 

[Tynan]

been in longs for about a month, I think legs need to be kept warm, mine anyway, it's certainly been comfortable, just a LS top and winter socks with summer shoes
