and that's coming from a woman, who cycles to central London at 6.30am.

I've been cycling in shorts and gilet, mostly without gloves, for weeks now. twas only the snow in London that brought out the long trousers.

I'm with you on that. Shorts and a lightweight top is all I need in this weather - cycling generates enough heat.

I'm from up't north in the sticks so know what cold is. I lived in a place with no heating electric or a roof (ok so I exaggerate)....but I do know coldness. some people are just ridiculously nesh.

@itsbruce - thanks for the support. cycle faster or harder and the temp soon gets too much for me. in fact I'm dreading it getting warmer cos I'll be overheating!

I was in Northern Ireland yesterday, and went out for a ride around 0630. The fields were white with frost, but the sun was shining brightly and it was a lovely time to be out on a bike
*not in blo0dy shorts mind!

Its the place to be!

Bloody windy this morning, so much so that my normal average (average average?) commute speed dropped from 15.5mph to 12mph.

And yes I was in shorts. Bloody freezing too, and it looks like its raining outside now.

It was warmer last month than it is this month

I wish it would hurry up and get warmer. After some time off this return to the cold, windy winter weather isn't helping to motivate me to get back on the bike

Next week guys...................(allegedly)

An additional advantage of drop bars is that you can hide from most of the wind.

I have been wearing my Montane Featherlite trousers over my shorts this week. Very light and windproof. Keeps the nether regions warm enough without overheating.
