Cold and Dry
February 29th, 2012
Snow is forecasted for today. I welcome it: the sooner we can get to spring. 🙂
Weather
Weather: 33
Road conditions: Dry
Clothing: Heavy winter coat, EVO gloves, Timberland shoes.
Comfort: I rode fast again today, and got a little warm: I was chasing someone on a mountain bike whose drive train exceeded the 50% rust marker. He made up for it by standing and pedaling hard basically the whole length of my commute. The little wind covers on the EVO gloves were clutch.

Are you riding home tonight in the snow? Good luck!
I’ve seen some people do some crazy hard biking on rusted out mountain bikes. It’s simply amazing.
Wind covers sound slick. I’ll have to check into that. My Pearl Izumis weren’t up to the task yesterday. I was pretty frozen by the time I got home.

I did ride home! The snow turned out to be a bust, though.
The wind covers are integrated into the glove: I have the Evo Drone Winter glove. I’d post a link, but… I encourage you to purchase at a bike shop instead (I believe the Amazon price is close to what Hub Bicycle Company in Cambridge has). I have a picture of their current state after a few months of use: the cover is shredded at the seams but it still functions!
