How cold was it for you?

[pepperami]

Definately NOT tacking the bike out today or for a while that`s for sure.

Went out in the car today and the themometer read -12.5c and that was at 9.30am in the morning, not like I`d expect at 5.30am.

How low did it go where you are ?

I have no idea how cold it was here this morning. The bike doesn't have a temperature display on it.

[P.]

I had water flick up from cars and freeze on my visor today.

I arrived toasty apart from my feet... trainers are terrible in the cold.

[goto10]

Today was bearable, tomorrow has freezing fog forecast and I can't be bothered with the visor icing up every 5 seconds again so I'll be using the train tomorrow methinks...

Wanted to cry. My hands were so painful, but then I am wearing summer gloves. Need a pair of winter ones really.

It takes me about 40-ish minutes to get to work in the morning. About half the 17-mile distance is dual carriageway (A40) and then traffic-light racing. When I got in, most of my pinky on the right hand was numb and I was starting to lose feeling in my toes as well.

I was seriously layered up, starting with a merino wool base layer, jeans, shirt and jumper with thermal-backed textiles on top, gloves with liner and muffs, etc.

I've ridden through colder, but only a degree or so. It was very cold.

About -2 I think, not too bad. Gotta watch once it's as low as -12, the salt on the roads stops doing its job.

[FretGrinder]

Went out for a nice 60 mile ride yesterday. Wore thermal base layers, then t-shirt and joggers, then bike gear which has like 3 or 4 layers in it, then muffs on handle bars,

....didn't get cold at all.

Bike was pretty stable, But I felt the back end twitch from rolling over a few wet spots on the road that were possibly turning to ice.

I'm not liking the sound of this approaching snow though, roll on March

I bought a week's season ticket to get to work this week on the train - but I forgot to take it with me today. I had my share of danger as I didn't buy another one

Fitted Tucano Urbano muffs yesterday, hands are now lovely and toasty

Tyres are still shit on ice though so I am keeping riding to a minimum in this really cold weather!

Temperature wise not bad at all. Been in much much worse. Not taking the bike out tomorrow the black ice was horrific.

Coldest I have ridden in is minus 12. Though, I think this reading was a "micro climate" at my destination, it was more like minus 6.

I thought I saw a dead magpie, but it was a dead crow with frost on it. Only in my own town though, wouldn't have ventured further.

Didn't want to risk it today, sub zero all day. Yesterday, I rode 100 miles between about 3 and minus 2 .

Freezing, absolutely freezing. My car doesn't get a chance to warm up at all on my 1.7 mile commute. Tomorrow I'm going to pop a jacket on.

I don't mind the cold but the ice freaks me out

how do you guys not fall off? I came off in the last ice spell in December and it was so slippery I couldn't stand on the road to pick my bike up but had to slide it of the cambered bit

[Sable]

[P.]

I live in town, busy roads = no ice.
I then hit the motorway = no ice.
I then hit a very bust town/city = no ice.

My route has (or should have) no real disaster areas

Just back from work, theres a temprature clock thingy on the way home. It was reading 0 when I was out earlier, 0 when I was going to work, -1 when I was coming home.

How cold was it for me?

Fine actually. Warmish gloves, winter jacket, textiles over my jeans, neck cosy. I was pretty cosy actually.

Y'all a bunch of nancies!
