Hello Bikers, I started biking again the first week of June this year and come too really like it a lot. I usually drive to the trails around Omaha NE but sometimes on weekends the traffic is not bad and I just ride to a trails. I’m playing around with the idea of getting good riding cloths so I can ride during the winter. I have a friend who is a bicycle cop and he has ridden his bike to work for two years straight and that’s saying a lot with the snow we get in Omaha. Kev
I use Runkeeper App…..

So. What DO real cycling enthusiasts wear during the winter months to ride? I bought a neon yellow hoodie. Oh, and as suggested, I got a fleece earband.0

Ooooh so close to breaking my record of 351 miles last month. I need 23 more miles. Rainy morning this AM may have compromised that but if I can get a ride in after work today and commute to work and home tomorrow, I should still be able to break it by just a few miles.
I did manage to ride over 1,000 miles in the past 3 months.

I ride a pretty awesome red Cannondale road bike, and managed to get about 940 miles in for 2013. A bike wreck and broken clavicus bone has ended my outdoor bike riding for this year!!! Please always wear a good helmet....from someone who knows...Anyways, will be using a stationary bike, elliptical, stairstepper and such at the gym and let my body heal up til spring 2014.
As the season ending, I bought a Cannondale road bike which was a LBS's rental bike. He wanted to unload, so I got a good deal. So far, I only put 160miles on it, but I'd have to wait for the next year to put it through.
Take care.0 -

Pretty sure my biggest issue with the cold weather will be my ears. Any suggestions? Can't wear much under my helmet because it barely fits already (it's adjustable and I can't adjust it any bigger).
I have a columbia omni-heat balaclava that covers my face and ears when I ride in cold weather. It is really helpful. Very thin and it keeps me dry and warm.0 -

I got an earband, but I'm looking at buying something like this thing you're talking about too. I hate being cold. But I'd really rather keep riding outside than use my stationary bike. I'm too bored using it. I tried watching television while riding and I've tried listening to audio books while riding, but I just never feel like I'm going anywhere. Fortunately, I live in the south so even a cold day isn't freezing.0 -
