Display bike smug on the outside. Complain bitterly on the inside. Supposedly a drier summer means less snow, but in my experience that also means a colder winter.
Also these just arrived:
If anybody wants an MBC Winter Bear sticker, PM me. They’re reflective. (akasnowmaaan, I’ve got you down already).
Tights (which I have right now) ain’t exactly commute-friendly. Get me into winter cycling legwear that I can wear casually… besides fucking jeans which I hate riding in.
Or should I just ride in tights and carry jeans in backpack?
My legs never really get all that cold, so I only require a couple of layers only on the coldest days (say sub 20F…what is that, -12C?). So tights might be a viable option, with 2x tights on certain days. Maybe? I dunno, I’ve been fine with jeans. One other problem is the gap between tights and socks. My shins and ankles tend to dry out as a result. Thoughts?
I usually commute in soft shell pants or tights/shorts collab, and then just change into different pants at work. That said, If i really wanted to, I could wear the soft shell pants all day.
Tights, Novara Headwind pants over them. I hate the way they look but there is no equivalent product and they work very, very well. You could fit them on over jeans or whatever for the commute.
