It’s interesting. In the cool weather season I’m becoming more likely to wear long cycling tights at 60 degrees F and below and maybe even just over.
But we also had cooling just below 60F this morning and I wore cycling shorts and a running tank top and it felt just fine. I think the chance to feel even slightly cool after all this heat meant that it was ok. Plus it was a hard, hilly ride on a single speed.
