Thanks, Mark. I'm lucky in that my ride to work is mostly downhill, so I can arrive pretty clean. Going home is the *#$%&. The last 3/4 mile climbs 350 feet...
Hi, Mark, We might have a week where it's -5 or so first thing in the morning, but most of the time teens and 20s are common for Jan & Feb. My challenge is...

Anyone who is concerned about odor where clothing and sweating are involved should look no further than WOOL. The fact that it is also superior or equal to...
I ride every day to work. No excuses! I only have a 2 mile commute so I really don't have any excuses now do I? I wear Poly everything in the winter! I...
Rob, First of all I want to say Hurray! For making the commitment to winter riding. I have been a winter rider for the past 5 years. There is something awesome...
Cold and very damp here in Philadelphia in the winter. Occasionally very cold and damp. Layers. Lots of them. Fleece--lighter than wool and doesn't itch,...

Dude, That is awesome! I ride too. I love your statement: *c**ommuting by bike "when I can" to riding "because I can." * * * *I too commute three days a week...
Nice, Rob! I'd recommend some wool. But I also use the lightweight thermal underware REI sells (because it's fairly inexpensive and come sin Tall size for my...
Friends, I've successfully crossed that psychological divide between commuting by bike "when I can" to riding "because I can." With the mountains around here,...
