From: where i lay my head is home.

Bikes: bianchi pista workhorse, cannondale r1000, mountain bike fixed conversion

i'm not sure i'll be all that helpful. then again, the past couple nights, the ricde to the bar has inclueded riding in temperatures of 8 degrees, and i'm sure nyc is warmer, even by a little.

1. Head
(a) rain:nothing
(b) snow:nothing. sometimes a balaclava for long rides, but i pull it down most of the time to keep moisture from condensing.

2. Torso
(a) rain: sweatshirt, waterproof snowboarding jacket
(b) snow:sweathsirt, waterproof snowboarding jacket

3. Legs
(a) rain: jeans rolled out of the chainring's reach
(b) snow: same.

4. Hands
(a) rain: nothing.
(b) snow: two pairs of stretchy dollar store gloves.

5. Feet
(a) rain: cycling shoes
(b) snow: same.

- Knobby tires? How wide? If not, thicker slicks? How wide? 700x23 slicks
- Anything else you want to add: just bundle up with layers youi can remove when you're first there, and always underdress for the weather, since you'll heat up by moving. and from there on, just try to get used to it with less and less clothing. right now it's 18 degrees, so i may only need a hoodie tonight!



THANK YOU ever-so-much!
