Even when I adjust the helmet to it's maximum size, it feel very tight when I wear the winter tuke = quite uncomfortable. Do you know of some head friendly way of keeping the ears warm while wearing a helmet?
Ear warmer in your choice of fleece (my favorite) or neoprene.

That's what I did when militantly car-free and living in Colorado with occasional sub-zero temperatures.

If it's not too cold to ski, it's not too cold to bike and many of the same solutions work.
