When I need to use toe warmers I stick them between my fine italian road bike shoes and my neoprene booties. You waste some of the heat but its better than nothing.


I'm not a great fan of that langster...

And the heart and stroke ride is fine on a fixed gear, although I haven't done the long route before. I've done 160+km non heart and stroke rides before on the fixed gear through hillier terrain and I'm not all that strong. I was pretty damn spent after those though... no riding the next day or even getting off the couch.
