It's getting cold here. I just have cycling shorts and some short sleeve jerseys. I used to ride at sunrise but it's too fucking cold for that.

Can you guys recommend me some gear? I'm guessing pants and then I'm lost.

THANKS

Leg warmers. Or, if you're not afraid of looking dorky, Jan Heine has decided to bring back knickerbockers.

Now you did it OP, you just summoned the posters whose greatest accomplishment is riding when it's cold and love to talk about it

Ride harder, heat yourself up. Do some warmup exercises inside before you leave and drink something hot.

Get a thin sweater; wool is good. Women's tend to be thinner and more form-fitting, but men's will be more likely to have a zipper.

>summoned
The spirit of the ice biker (the conqueror of storms, breaker of drifts, he-who-is-fearless-before-the-wind) has lain dormant within me during the months of accursed summer heat, begins to stir within my breast. Already I find myself unpacking boxes, searching dresser drawers to reveal the holey balaclava, the wooly fleece of unsurpassed heat retention, and the accursed missing glove (seriously, I know put them away together, where the fuck is my left glove?). ARISE WINTER BIKERS! MAKE READY FOR THE DAYS WHEN DRINKING TEA AFTER A RIDE WILL BE ESPECIALLY COMFY!

If it's 50 (with clouds and wind, but no rain) I'd suggest a short-sleeve wool jersey or wearing a long sleeve athletic shirt under a normal summer jersey, keep the usual cycling shorts (legs in motion generate lots of heat), but switch to lightweight wool socks so your feet stay a bit warmer.

For 50's I would just wear a t-shirt and then a long sleeve cotton shirt over top of it. Hope you have a place to put it because in an hour of riding it will be to hot.

Come up to the blue ridge with me when it's in the 20s. Some of the best riding you'll ever do.

1 - think layers - because you might want to take off a jacket during a long sunny climb, but put it back on for a cool shaded descent

2 - how to carry stuff - a thin nylon jacket and arm warmers can be rolled up carried in a jersey pocket, but heavier clothing may need a large saddle bag or backpack(camelbak).

3 - vigorous activity should keep your body core warm - wind chill will accelerate heat loss in the extremities - use full finger gloves and taller/thicker socks - when temps approach freezing a thin wool cap that goes under your helmet and over your ears will help
