Cold weather adds: base layer, tights, jacket, change headband and gloves, so only 3 extra items. Why does it feel like it's 100% harder to get dressed/undressed??
THIS!!
In the summer...shorts and a t shirt. Done. Riding is easy.
In the winter, long pants and a sweatshirt...and somehow that feels like a chore.
You are not crazy! (Or if you are...so am I)
