Subject: RE: When is it to cold to bike????? +1 I'll take 30's and sunny over 40's and damp anytime. As we say in the south, regarding summer time, 'it's not the heat, it's the humidity'. The same is true in winter. A wet cold really sucks the heat out of you, 'bone chillin' cold. My record is 26F, but it was sunny and very dry. We southerners were fascinated dealing with icing up water bottles. I wear snow skiing gloves and balaclava below 35. When you need to wear a balaclava, you really need one. The wind chill from riding 20+ mph really bites when it's below 40. Cold, damp, or dark - I'll ride any 2 of the 3. All three and it's not fun. |
