Not sure if it would be any different if colder, but I tried ski goggles in the 20's F and just couldn't keep them from fogging up. Now I usually just go without any glasses when it's that cold. I just cover up most of my face and leave my eyes exposed.

I tried that too. The problem I had, was when it was cold enough that I felt I had to have my eyes covered, I ALSO felt it was cold enough I couldn't leave my nose hanging out in the wind, so I had a full balaclava on. much harder to make glasses work with that...

May take the studded fat bike for a trip. Not with lots of slush or sand though, needs to be fresh snow.

what seems to fog my glasses or goggles is the moisture from the skin on my face. I like a little breeze flowing around my safety glasses. they might fog if I stop moving, so that's where the strap comes in. I lower them off my face. in some cases, like brief stops to cross a road, I'll slide them forward toward the edge of my nose, they fog less when they are farther from my skin & when I get going they will clear more quickly. then I slide them back up onto the bridge of my nose

I live in Phoenix, so there's not much I have to do differently. I will, however, be skipping my shortcut on the mup adjacent to a golf course until next summer. While it really doesn't get "cold" here, no one should have to ride through a sprinkler in any temperature below 80 degrees! Not to mention that the puddles on the path end up with thorns and other tire destroying crap in them no matter what the weather is like.

Plow, plow, plow your bike...

This winter I will put the chains on my car tires before they freeze in the snow in the driveway. Slipped too many times on my bike last winter to want to ride again this year.
|
The drizzle and dark on my way home tonight made for good practice of the slower riding I'll be doing this winter...

Yes the closure panels on this helmet snap in/out. Agreed, for commuting the "aeroness" does not matter - I really like this helmet year around .

Interesting helmet choice there, Was looking at the review of it here:
Review: Bolle The One Road Premium | road.cc and read that the panels on the top clip on/off, correct? I wouldn't care about the "aeroness" of the helmet that the article seems to be so focused on. I agree with [MENTION=152773]noglider[/MENTION] in that you gave a nice winter clothing list. Your Lake winter shoes look warmer than my Sidi winter shoes. |
I would continue to use regular tires, short sleeves and shorts.
