Buy good quality gear - no need to be cold and uncomfortable. Rode to work yesterday morning at o'dark thirty wih a t-shirt and long sleeve t-shirt under my jacket - not cold at all.




































And summer gloves but that a whole other story ;) :)

That was the reason I was in summer gloves. I honestly thought I wouldnt like them, but they are great. Means I havent worn winter gloves this year yet.
