Winter CyclingDon't let snow and ice discourage you this winter. The key element to year-round cycling is proper attire! Check out this winter cycling forum to chat with other ice bike fanatics.
Here in Edmonton, Alberta, where my lower limit for bicycling to work is -35 Celsius (-31 in American) I have zero regrets in investing in BarMitts. Those and a set of leather trigger mitts have prevented frost bite, at least on that part of my body.
Here in Wisconsin my limit is -25F. BarMitts or heated leather motorcycle gloves are the ticket.
I deliver ice cream by bike for a living and need durable cold weather gloves for working in the freezers. Superior winter gloves have made everything from shoveling snow to handling flagstone a painless process.
