Whoa, Bikers! Cold and Dry
February 8th, 2012
I’m going to switch up the post order, putting weather and such at the end now. It’s been pretty repetitive, so I’ll put the variety up front.
If your knees (as opposed to thighs or calves) hurt from pedaling, your chain needs maintenance. If the bike is painfully unresponsive to your pedaling, your tires need inflation.
Weather and clothing
The weather this morning was bracing, despite being a mild 24 degrees. My face was cold, but happily warmed up with riding and collar adjustments.
Temperature: 24 degrees
Road: Dry
Clothing: Heavy winter jacket, wool gloves, Timberland shoes, messenger bag
Comfort: My face and legs took a little while to warm up. It was definitely on the edge of needing additional covering in those places.
