Daily winter riding tip #4: stay warm. get good gloves. chose gloves that are impermeable to wind as cold air will pe*****te them. ski gloves are good as well. cover your neck and mouth: a thick balaklava, neck gaiter or a long scarf wrapped around your neck, mouth and nose will do the job just fine. here's a secret: when you breath through it your breath will warm you up. coat: get a coat or jacket that is windproof similar to ski jackets or just a thick with a goose down, preferably one that reaches under your waistline. this way when you are leaning forward your back will not be exposed. Stay warm and keep on riding!
