I'm aware that not everyone can ride a bike, it's been mentioned once or twice in the past.

Considering handlebar covers/mittens for doing 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? @bikes @mastobikes @cycling

@achadwick @bikes @mastobikes @cycling I get about 10-15 degrees C of protection (translating from F, where my dry-bare-hands limit is 45F, but bare hands in bar mitts gets me to 20-25F). The first few minutes of bare fingers on cold grips takes a little getting used to.

I have upright bars, and once or twice when I needed to brake quickly with a hand out, I just grabbed the entire mitt and squeezed, you might want to try that once or twice before you need to do it in a hurry.

tk, do cycling

Whether or not disc brakes are “better” than rim brakes, disc brakes definitely require less skill to use effectively in more conditions.

@nothingfuture @hughtaylorscifi @LabSpokane @v_perjorative @cycling @mastobikes The max is when the rear tire starts to lift, which is around 0.5g for a "normal" bike, more for tandems, recumbents, and most cargo bikes. (From "Bicycling Science"). Also, drum brakes.

@nothingfuture @hughtaylorscifi @LabSpokane @v_perjorative @cycling @mastobikes Note I've used and worked on center pull, linear pull, cantilever, cable disk, hydraulic disk, and drum, I've used sidepull on borrowed bikes.
