  • Don't sweat!

  • Which gloves are you using at -20C, -4F?

  • @copperpaint Cayenne pepper in the socks. Just turn it inside out with hand still in sock, sprinkle a moderate amount of Cayenne in the areas that get cold for you. Then turn sock right side out and gingerly put on sock. It's a vaso-dilator in body and out. Works wonders in my opinion. For me, worst is numb/cold feet/toes. I use it trail running too. Problem is you are going to work, so you'll have to wash your feet at work or toes will feel hot all day.

  • I think it's great that more people are biking in snow and ice. I am new to it this year and I am having a blast so far (I know winter has only just begun). Just trying to figure out what to wear to keep warm and when to put on the studded tires etc. Any tricks to winter bike clothing? I live in Minneapolis. The biggest issue we have here is traffic. So you have the cold and snow but you also have HEAVY car traffic. I live in the city and commute.

  • @TmXPS3 Ah good to know

  • @copperpaint It was a joke man ;)

  • @TmXPS3 So the next guy who has biked in -40 gets to tell you to get off of youtube? Ridiculous pov.

  • No respect, I need to bike to school everyday in like -30! Get of youtube!!

  • i went biking in alberta with a minus 35 wind chill got frost bite on my ears so i got to stay home from school the next day hahahah

  • I've biked in temps of colder than -20F. Commuting I use a Dutch city bike with a full chain case. The bike as front and rear rack, so I can carry everything I need each day. Of course it get studded tires.. I average around 1,300 miles a winter.

    When srping hits and everbody is back on their bikes and I switch to a lighter bike... Biking is toooo easy and everbody is a slow poke.....
