How low do you go? [View all]

What's the coldest temps you ride in? If it is sunny and not too windy, I've gone for 30 mile rides at mid teens. My toes get a bit cool as I wear mountain bike shoes with wool socks and sometimes a liner. I've looked at booties, but seem like an awful lot of effort and I don't do clipless which most seemed designed for. For my commute to work I've gone in single digits, then I put on the lobster gloves and I do have a pair of bar mitts, not the brand name ones, but by someone makes on a small scale. I didn't use those last year though. I wish they made some bar mitts type things that you could wrap around your shoes instead of the full on zipped up bootie things.

Even with a face gator thing on I end up with a snotcicle half the time.


Peace
