I can handle walking in the cold, but biking is a whole different thing. Besides trying to stay warm, you have to deal with ice, snow, and tire ruts while you are balanced on two narrow wheels. Sounds like it builds character! I’m impressed. I can handle walking in the cold, but biking is a whole different thing.

And I considered it a step forward just using public transportation this winter! Well done sir! Perhaps little campfires under each hand. Think about it: Heat Scary as Hell fireson the front of the bike = Nothing bad! Or maybe just some sort of gentle heating element that the bike actually powers up? Bike on friend! Wow!

Seems like bent wrists + weight + cold is bad news for circulation. You have better balance in snow with your weight back anyway! Maybe some neoprene liners for the gloves? That stuff is some kind of magic. So much fun! I should get my winter bike back out. Hey it helps to flex your fingers on the handle bars and not put to much weight on the them.

I can barely stand to walk outside during the winter, let alone ride a bike. I'm not surprised your hands were the coldest part, but those "climitt" things look pretty awesome.

When I bike in the cold, it is hard to keep my fingers warm too. What has worked best is to use a pair of pretty large down filled mittens. That way I can make a fist inside the mitten for a while with each hand, and they stay warmer. But any gloves with individual fingers never kept me warm enough. Ride safe! Hard core!
