Todays rant. Balaclavas wearers, What the F*@k is wrong with you?!

maybe its a personal thing. i've got quite good circulation so the only place i get cold on my bike is my hands and my face. wind-chill on the hands and face is horrible!! sorry guys i'm in the pro-balaclava camp.

Thought of you yesterday, Tommy (not more than the once though).

Spotted someone wearing a piece of your favourite cycling equipment yesterday evening. Minutes later I passed one of those advertising hoardings that also have the date and time on them, it was 9 degrees.

What do you think about that?

I should think you've ruined his afternoon!

That is terrible. Someone like that does not deserve to vote. Though them to the anarchists I say.

your favourite cycling equipment

Since when are balaclavas cycling equipment? ;)

They are to some!

Thermal buff (1/3 fleece, 2/3 standard buff material) + wind proof skull cap.

good down to -15C.

1000 times more adjustable in changing conditions.

Despite blue skies and sunshine its actually cold here.
I was out on a training ride yesterday thinking.....

I spent a lot of money on a heavily vented helmet;
I spent a lot of money on heavily vented road shoes; and
I live within spitting distance of the arctic circle.

WTF?

Already?

Though it is cold.

And I am thinking of getting a snood.

Time to resurrect this thread. Yeah.

As I said on another thread yesterday, a fellow cyclist on Monday told me that I "should get one of these" pointing at his balaclava.
