I did realize however that mine are not good for biking. Much too bulky.<BR/><BR/>I prefer a couple of light layers and like you, I have occasionally overdressed and actually perspired while riding in sub freezing weather. That's very uncomfortable, as you well know.amidnightriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961440167635690163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-44832159309531962402008-12-15T23:27:00.000-06:002008-12-15T23:27:00.000-06:00Geez man, that is freaking COLD!

A layer of nine on the top. Sounds bulky, but it wasn't. Like you, Noah, I have to pace myself so I don't overheat on my relatively short five mile commute (not that I'm that fast to begin with). Only my feet were cold.<BR/><BR/>Here's <A HREF="http://redd-shift.blogspot.com/2008/12/minus-5-fahrenheit-now-thats-cold.html" REL="nofollow">my story</A>.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow looks like zero degrees F, but with the snow starting around commute time. My studs are worn in now, but I've yet to try them on the slick stuff.<BR/><BR/>Way to keep biking the commute, Noah.Scott Reddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13769134824821490457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-41063844446347619132008-12-15T22:24:00.000-06:002008-12-15T22:24:00.000-06:00Man you guys are kickin my butt. +22F has been my ...Man you guys are kickin my butt. +22F has been my low so far.<BR/><BR/>I guess its time to cowboy up.Chuong Doanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12020007637752779296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-24003620325138787362008-12-15T21:16:00.000-06:002008-12-15T21:16:00.000-06:00I've got it easy compared to people like you, Doug...I've got it easy compared to people like you, <A HREF="http://mnbicyclecommuter.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Doug</A> and many others in colder climes.

Th...Commuting in Calgary this week is a challenge. The trick is to not dress too warmly. Riding temperatures are -20 to -35 degress Celcius (about -10 to -30 farenheit). Yes minus. My clothing secret...a one piece snowmobile suit. It works so well that more than 2 or 3 layers of clothing results in overheating. Now if only there wasn't a half foot of new snow and 2 inches of solid ice underneath my wheels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
