I actually do plan to ride through the winter. Although Atlanta winter is not the same as Grand Rapids winter, it's still sucks. It's cold, and it rains a lot. My old bike ran into shifting problems below 272ēK, so I'm curious to see how the new bike does in the chill.
I've been looking at some clothes for winter cycling, and I'm not liking my options. I can look like a middle-aged super-hero cosplayer in spandex, or I can look like a smooth-brained hippster in overpriced jeans.
For now I am just looking for:
Gloves, full finger, cycling.
Hat, stocking, warm.
Mask, cold weather, neoprene (non-heroic) - although I find this one oddly tempting

Jacket, rain repellent, safety yellow
Pants, rain repellent.
Bands, pant leg restraining

I... I can't do this one... I just can't

And since I'm spending that money, I'll get a new set of lights. My current lights are pathetic.
