I like to think that there’s no bad weather, just unappropriate clothing.

You will like Bar Mitts.. Http://barmitts.com. I have a few pairs and I can ride down to at least 30 with regular no finger riding gloves…

You might try finding some handlebar muffs. Apocalypse design (http://www.akgear.com) out of Fairbanks AK used to make a set but a cursory examination of their webpage makes me think that they’ve discontinued them. I’ve never personally used a set of muffs, a good pair of mittens was always good enough for me, but you might want to give them a call or email them.

The only part of riding in the cold that bothers me is my hands. I have yet to find a glove/mitten/whatever that keeps my hands warm enough that still lets me work brakes and shifters properly. Thinking about designing something like the old-school racing motorcycle fairings to fit in front of the ‘bars.

I think riding a recumbent helps as well, because I never really need an extra layer of clothing in the winter unless it really is freezing outside.

I cycled to wok in shorts and a t-shirt this morning. And yes, I live on the northern hemisphere, the Netherlands. Although I must admit it is well above freezing now (5 °C in the morning). Now it might help I ride in a Quest…

I assume the reporters of the above lived in bigger towns or cities with spoiled inhabitants. Maybe a visit at some far off Siberian villages would help?
