    Randonneuring in a nutshell?

    This time of year I try to avoid idling as much as possible.
    Just because my glasses become foggy. Still have no solution for that problem but stay moving….

    Some hydrophopic film on the lenses can help. You can buy some special spray at the optician’s shop or – for a start – try to mix a little water with a dish-washing liquid, wash the lenses with that, leave to dry without rinsing. Works for some people, doesn´t work for others… but it won’t hurt to try. 🙂 / My current “solution” is having quite small lenses (“Lennon glasses”) for riding, so that it is easier to avoid blowing the exhaled air on them – it takes a little thought when you stop for a while: don´t turn your face against the wind, exhale through the nose, or try to direct the exhaled air further from the face when exhaling through the mouth (a bit like when blowing out a candle). 🙂 Works fine most of the time. / The only thing I haven´t sorted out is how to cover the whole face when itś freezing really hard – I can´t use a balaclava or a scarf covering the whole face, I have to keep my nose out to prevent foggying my glasses. Perhaps skiing goggles worn over the dioptric glasses would help…

      They too recommended dish-washing liquid. Did not work so much for me.
      Meanwhile as temperatures are below zero, I use to ride with skiing goggles and cover my face with a thin cotton scarf. As long as I ride, very little fogging on my glasses, warm mouth and nose.
      And a soaking wet scarf afterwards.
      If I need to stop, I remove the Goggles and try to breath as low as possible …

      When it gets really cold around here (say, < -10C / 14F), I used to try to get by with a heavy scarf, but it was always hard to keep the thing up over my nose and it caused no end of fogging.

      This year, I bought a neoprene mask which fits snugly and has little ear pockets. It's goofy, but also anonymous 🙂

        I heard of some Mormon missionaries trying a neoprene mask while riding their bikes in the middle of winter in Oklahoma and the mask froze to his face. Long story short: Careful with the neoprene. I get a balaklava and snowboard goggles and it works great!

    I made my own winter mask from a halloween hockey mask, some scraps of upholstery foam, and an old pair of glasses in my current prescription. It keeps my face warm and prevents breathing on my glasses meaning they don’t fog as much. The foam is used as a gasket to keep my breath around the lower part of my face and to allow dryer outside air to circulate around my glasses. The mask also keep sand and grit laid down for traction from hitting me in the face when a car passes.

    I know Yehuda uses Walz caps, but what about hisd trunk and handlebar bags?
