+1 Cooler temps for Miami or Edmonton?

Other than that, when I switched from bus/ped to cycling through our Great Lakes winters, all of the winter wear I already owned was too damned hot. That first winter, I made do with layers of autumn/spring stuff that I already owned. Even then, my knee-jerk reaction to dressing for cold weather frequently had me basting in my own juices from the heat. These days I use cycling-specific stuff, and find it much easier to manage.

I still have, and haven't worn in five years, all the heavy outerwear I used when I waited in snowdrifts for buses to come.
