   I think 40°F / 4.5°C is the coldest temperature I'd go #cycling in alone. :blobfoxsweating:

     @bogdanoviste I still have yet to get past the problem of how bundling up enough to be warm inevitably leads to soaked base layers, then a chilled body. I've tried everything I can think of, but no dice. :blobfoxsad:
     
     Fun fact, fabrics like Gore can breathe or keep out water, but not both at the same time. (Does this mean that it stops breathing if one's sweat coats the inside? :blobfoxthinkgoogly: )

     @tk @biketooter @cycling @mastobikes it definitely helps to get some clothing for cold weather ^^ I've been winter biking for more than a decade now and it has been a learning process. Today, I'm going back under a wind freeze effect of -25c 🥶

     @tk yep, that's a struggle! The best I managed to achieve is layering and removing layers as needed. Considering I'm mainly ride in urban setting, I usually do that when I'm at red lights. I chose Gore clothes with ventilation holes at the armpits so it helps a little too. But I can't avoid being cold and slightly sweaty from time to time, I made peace with that. I still prefer that to over 30c, under the sun, bike rides really!

     @tk Heh, I've done <0°C ones but luckily for short trips and with motorbiking gear it works pretty well.
