Buy some 3/4 length bib shorts or running tights to put under or over your bike shorts (if under, watch out for the rubbing effect of any seam).Does anyone else get severe eyes waterings and nose running in this cold weather?

It didn't feel too bad temp wise this morning so cycled in baggies, base layer and gilet. A couple of miles later and the core is nice and warm and my feet are iceblocks. One other roadie going the other way but no prey on my side so cruised in carefully especially on the corners got to our car park and it is ice everywhere. :shock: PANIC. I have never unclipped so carefully trying not to unbalance myself and fall flat on my face in front of everyone.Short hairy legged roadie FCN 4 or 5 in my baggies.

I had (another) slow and uncomfortable ride in this morning.
However, I did A Good Thing.
I espied a damsel in distress - walking along the Embankment carrying her bike and looking pretty miserable. So I stopped, asked if she needed help. To which she dejectedly replied that she had flatted, her hubby had swiped one of her spare inners and the other one she had just discovered was the wrong size.
So I gave her one.
Of my spare inners. Her little face lit up. 'Twas a joy to behold, especially so close to Christmastime.

She won't do that again.
The last time I stopped for a burd with a flat - I refused to accept "payment" and got a hug instead.
I need to work on my game as other Greg is clearly supassing me in this field.Fixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.

I need to change my name to Greg, you gents rule. The only person with a flat I have seen and stopped for was a fat old bloke; he declined my offer of a hug.Short hairy legged roadie FCN 4 or 5 in my baggies.

You shouldn't take no for an answer in these situations, forcing physical intimacy on old men you don't know is a public service......Fixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.

Thought about it. But she already had the tyre off the rim, so she seemed to have an idea what she was doing.
It's the thought that counts, though.0 -

Just wondering, do you mean for comfort or for health of the knees?
I tend to avoid it over winter except on extreme days. I take a bit longer to warm up & get to full speed but it seems manageable. You've got me worried now, is there a heightened risk of injury?0 -

For me, it's both. It might be old wives' stuff, but if everything's warm, it's not cold, so the cold can't spread into the muscles etc etc. And if I'm warm, I'm comfortable and my attention isn't distracted.
Like Jon, I'm amazed people cycle in shorts in this weather. But I am a wuss. Long sleeves go on in September unless it's balmy.FCN 2-4.

Sweet FA to report from my ride in this morning. The only other bike based traffic going in the same direction as me was 2 school kids on their Argos specials......
One thing I have found tho and I'm begging to hate about this route is that I seem to pick up an in-ordinate amount of road scum! My bag left a black mark on the toilet seat this morning due to the cr4p on it! (Don't laugh, I've seen the wet pools around the toilet so my bag and clothes stay off the floor when changing!)0 -
