Many years ago I cycled everywhere in all weathers for a few years and I wore a pair of nylon cycling mittens lined with a thick woolly sort of fleece and my hands didn't get cold as far as I remember. I got them mail order from a company called FREEWHEEL.

GOTD, black ice. Came off the push bike twice yesterday morning on my way to work. No major injuries, just a skinned hand and knee, bruised hip and swollen finger.

I am but not as bad as I was last night. Do they make body armour for cyclists?

That might be overkill for a commute
![]() Road conditions were a bit odd yesterday. No sign of any frost or ice near my home (about 3miles from Shrewsbury) just wet and dirty. The affected roads were as you near the river Severn. I can only guess that there was a cold breeze running up the river banks dropping the temp to below freezing. I'm now wondering if I need grippier tyres. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

On my daily commute into the office (10 miles from SE9 to Westminster) dressed in armoured everything - Boots, gloves, jacket, jeans, lid more often than not riding at pretty much the same speed as a cyclist I often wonder just how ouchy it is when they deck the pushbike wearing 2 ounces of lycra and a dinky little skullcap (if anything at all).
