I did, however, wear full finger gloves today, as my fingers were cold almost the whole way to work yesterday wearing fingerless.
I hear ya on the parkas, etc. Low 50s when I left home this AM. I wore shorts and a tee shirt. I saw people wearing more for their bike commute today than I wear in February on 10-15 degree mornings. Crazy IMHO.
Commuting so far today has been better than yesterday, when I broke a spoke on the rear wheel. Replaced spoke this AM and had a very nice ride in. Weather was absolutely perfect for a bike ride. Can every day be like this please? Well you can leave out the headwind we had, but otherwise spot on. Low 50s clear blue sky. Aaaaah...
