Staying Warm

Acquaintances who discover that I have been riding my bike to work for 12 straight months usually assume that I get really cold while biking.  Not true.  When it comes to being cold outside, I have a rather low tolerance.

In the 1980's I lived in Florida for 4 years.  Summer in Florida was way hot and way humid.  I've always told people that I would rather live in Minnesota in the winter than Florida in the summer. When it gets colder outside, a person can put on more clothes. Whereas, when it gets hotter outside, you quickly run out of clothes to take off.

The key to staying warm while biking has been to find the right combination of clothes for the conditions. Over the next few posts I will provide details on clothing and the combinations.

The morning forecast looks good. 28 F and 8 mph tailwind.
