In all my years of #cycling, I've never found a great solution for cold weather. If I bundle up so I'm not chilled, then I soak everything with sweat in short order. If I wear less, then I freeze. I've tried Merino wool, synthetics (Gore, Event, etc.), and so on, but nothing works well enough for me.
Sadly, that means I don't do anything exciting on the #bicycle during the coldest part of the year. Just my daily local loop. :blobfoxsad:
@tk@biketooter@cycling@mastobikes I find I have a crazy steep temp gradient with almost any aerobic exercise and chronically overdress, so this makes sense to me
@tk@biketooter@cycling@mastobikes i warm the absolute hell out of my hands and feet before going out but for bicycling especially it’s been awhile. Want access to a mountain bike with nice wide tyres for actual snow.
If I were to get a titanium #bicycle, I'd definitely spec a compliant steel fork. I feel like steel folks get a bad rap because consumer grade production ones are overbuilt, especially ones with disc brakes! #cycling
I have an aluminum frame track bike with a carbon fork that I am considering switching to a steel fork. I guess the ride a little whippier but the front wheel is the place you want rigid control over what is moving where...
Considering handlebar covers/mittens for doing #OpenStreetMap updates in cold weather. They're quite pricey though. Would they help?
It's fairly slow travel, with frequent stops near the footway=sidewalk to record data on the phone. Are they any good for that sort of thing, if I use them with a pair of insulated fingerless gloves underneath? #BikeTooter@bikes@mastobikes@cycling

Rozszerzenie jest nakładką na planery tras, takie jak komoot czy ride with gps i pozwala przy układaniu trasy wybierać jeszcze nieodwiedzone miejsca.
@wloczykij czy ja wiem czy na telefon ? generalnie mozesz sobie odpallić jako PWA i na żywo śledzić pozycje.
Z reguły to przydatne rozwiazanie dla tych, co planuja sobie dłuższe tripy. bo wąpie, zeby tak spontanicnzie planować wyprawy po okolicy (wokół komina) ;-)
ja w ten sposób odkryłem wiele ciekawych zakątów pomiedzy Wlkp A kujawami. nigdy bym tam nie trafił :D
At the moment, my #cycljng is mainly limited by my cardiovascular system and energy. All of that time sick from respiratory illness was not kind to my fitness. :blobfoxgooglycry:
Tomorrow I’m planning to do clockwise „Rundtur på #Bornholm”, a #cycling trip around the island.
My side hurts, I guess from hitting a tree on a single track, but if I manage to get out at 4am I’m able to be back way before 10am - you know, family!😁😍
The wind and weather forecast seems to be favourable, going against 6-10km/h headwind in the beginning, to finish up with the wind. No rain (fingers crossed)!🙈
While I was riding my main #bicycle on gravel a couple days ago, I was able to easily rescue a front wheel slide.
And when I was riding it yesterday up a fairly steep bit of sandy gravel (for the city), I was able to get past wheelslip and just pedal slowly and softly in a low gear to get up the hill.
