[MENTION=188444]groovestew[/MENTION], you have to expect some New Yorkers to be less tolerant of cold and cool temperatures than Edmontoners. I notice that in the spring and fall, people wear outfits from shorts-and-t-shirts to full winter-coats-hats-scarves-gloves. I lean towards shorts and t-shirts, but I tend to dress moderately. With cycling clothing, I can regulate my temperature by increasing and reducing my pedaling effort.

I have seasonal pollen allergies that normally present between May 15 and June 15. I'm managing without drugs this year by frequent washing and irrigating my sinuses. It's working well.
