I dunno about anyone else but I’m still wearing pretty much the same clothing for my bike rides as I was wearing back in Jan, minus maybe one thing layer on top! I really to start being able to wear 3/4 tights (only wore them once this year), think it’ll be a while before I’ll be wearing shorts 🙁 . How about the rest of you all?

MTFU

I commute year round and only wore tights a couple of days back in the snow

MM tuff Londoner

Same here. Riding the HONC tomorrow and I’m planning on longs 😀

I think tomorrow will be the first day ill get my shins out! Went out this morning in tights, and was a bit warm!

Indeed Sir, winter longs for quite some time now, but this last week or so I’ve been in 3/4’s..

*Blows some warmer air up North for ya’s*

Bought a new pair of shorts and some Goretex boots this week. I know which I’ll be wearing tomorrow. I don’t buy the MTFU approach, if you’ve got appropriate clothing, wear it.

As I have only the one pair of knees, I’ve been looking after them of late! Did go for 3/4 (with knee pads) under the baggies the other night in the sleet, but I think my shins were blue when I got home. Still, summer’s only just round the corner… isn’t it? 8)

Yep, makes sense!

I was thinking of putting some of my winter gear away in the loft tomorrow, could be a bit premature.

I moved into bib shorts last week on the return leg.

Snowed and hailed and hurtlike hell.

Leg warmers back on for the rest of the week.

Supposed to be double figures here this week yay. Might try again.

How ever il still need longs in the morning.

my knees were on display today and the jacket came off mid ride, you’re a bunch of jessies 😉

It’s not beet cold enough.

Double digit temperature here today. Trails running quite well 😀

Off to Majorca Monday. First ride there will be the first time my legs come out this year.

Legs most definitely in today in the North Cotswolds, I shan’t be MTFUing for a while yet I think

35 miles in the Dales today. Only wished I had tights and a jacket for about 10 of them…

It’s got to be mid to late teens to tempt me away from my longs. Not even close so far.

Had the first ride of the year without leg warmers today,it’s been that long since that’s happened that I felt half naked !

Still in wind proof tights on the roadie, and mostly on the mountain bike as well. Have dropped a waterproof shell on top, but was shorts and t shirt this time last year. Ah we’ll, it’ was complete waterproofs doing the garden storage lockers earlier today!

Bib longs on for todays road ride. They will be going in the bin now though as the pad has given way and I’m now missing some skin on my bollocks!

LOL muddy dwarf!!

Still wearing leg warders and wind proof with feet covers on the way in, I could prob do without them on the homeward journey but I have to wear them as I need them the next day

Longs since late last year

Muddy, just take the pad out and use bibshorts underneath!

Knee warmers ftw. Won’t catch me in tights, long or bibs.
Only needed them in the snow.

Still wearing a thermal base layer though.

On road yes but off road is different IME.

26c here in southern Spain so just right.2 weeks ago we were still in tights so know what it is like.

Just ordered a new pair of 3/4’s, hopefully I haven’t cursed the weather even more.

Yes and bought two more pairs quite recently – and used them!

you cursed it today, sportive over sally gap and wicklow gap in scutters of rain and wearing 3/4s. i just replied to your pm on mad forum a minute ago this thread reminded me .

Bib 3/4 and long wool socks 8) . Perfect at the moment. I have some brutally thick Pearl Izumi wind and rainproof tights, but it’s too warm for them

Three quarters all through winter here, needs to be below -5 before I wear longs. I just don’t like having my legs fully covered.

I wear chaps for those in-between days

As I have only the one pair of knees, I’ve been looking after them of late!

Dunno if this has been covered before, but is there actual evidence that riding in cold weather is bad for your knees?

If the birdbath has ice, i wear tights.
I’m still wearing them every ride

Finally some decent weather in Madrid, 21C forecast tomorrow… Time to get the shorts out!

First proper ride on the new bike on Monday.

The world will be treated to a view of my pins. Albeit under 3/4 shorts.

Dunno grum, but mine don’t like it much!

I’m hoping for this soon myself!

Investing in flippers down here in Devon. I can barely remember the fact that being dry and outside isn’t a fable.
