Biking in 20F

[bolson]

The Wintersilks are a win, and made my legs tolerable, but maybe I was just distracted by the mind numbing cold as the wind whistled through my nice airy helmet. My dad wears a ski helmet when biking in the winter, and I think I’ll look into that. He mentioned something about gluing a face plate onto it (I think it was something to go over his glasses somehow) but I think I’ll look into standard goggles. Heavier gloves will also be called for.

when skiing, i use a sort-of muffler thing made into a ring. sort of like just the turtle of the turtle neck sweater. it really helps a lot to keep my face warm. and that might help you - without the risk of a long muffler that might get tangled on something.
you can also buy neoprene masks for that but they don't feel as good on, for me.
