down south here in Atlanta , Ga. got pretty cold this week 29 for a low and 59 for a high , the morning rides have been the coldest, what kind of gloves does everybody use in cold weather, ive been using some snowboarding gloves ,cheap first off , roomey on the inside for better control. Long underwear is a must and a fleece jacket under my leather jacket. My bike put off alot of heat in the summer but i cant seem to feel it latley, i guess the best thing is it wont overheat .what the coldest you guys ride on a daily basis? getting ready for winter riding!!

 

i cant wait for it to start snowing this winter in london, might get a bit hairly on the tailend i think, me, just good leathers with a blaclava on, have hightech motorbike thermal gloves, my sidi boots dont let any cold in but might wear thermal socks will see how it goes its not that cold yet..

 

I recently picked up a pair of Teknic "Cyclone" motorcycle gloves. They probably aren't as warm as the gloves that you're using, but I have been pretty happy with them. It's been in the low 50's around here lately and that's about as cold as I will ride in.

 

Getting ready for cod weather !

this is my last weekend before the winther here and we are riding at 5 celsius degrees, already 0 degree at night. Snow pretty soon, mm you guys are lucky !

 

I know what ya'll are talking about, I think it's going to get down to 60 F tonight.... brrrr

 

I don't like Novembrrrrrrr ..... [:@]
You guys are really gutsy riding bikes in the snow. When the ice covers the streets, I don't trust my own riding ability that much at all, so I don't think I'll be riding much until spring arrives here in Sweden some time April maybe.

 

I dont ride in the snow, cold can be ok , but snow, no , in factI am putting it away this weekend, the only bikeI will ride in the snow is a moutain bike and that is my friend.. a riot !

Winter is also comming to Denmark now, and the bike will be put away for the next couple of months. Then there is waiting a long winter in front of the computer looking for possible updates for the CBR, and of cause, reading others riding reports on this forum ;-)

 

The ONLY way I have found to keep warm is a pair of Gerbing heated gloves, with a small accessory attached to them (it's called a Gerbing heated jacket liner!!!).. I have bad circulation. No, I used to have bad circulation... now I just love riding in the cold weather!

 

I ride down to about 5 Deg C (40 F) but that is aboutthe lower limit if one does not like to suffer. I'm using a textile gear with inner jacket and pants, heated grips and cheap but very warm gloves (German Lidl bike winter gloves).The limiting factor is when theroads are freezing and I don’t ride more than about 30 km's at a time insuch low temperature. When the temperature is around 10 Deg C (50 F) there is almost no limit how long one can drive with this gearing.

The best temperature for riding very long distances seems to be around 15 Deg C (60 F), that is a good temperature to avoid being overheated oneself. The worst climate is like having 30 Deg C (85 F) and drive on a track that takes o lot of energy.
