    Anyone else planning to stick with their shorts for the daily commute through the winter? I have set myself the challenge of doing so this year.

    I agree mikem, I tend to wear three quarters nearly all year round just for that reason – cold mornings aren’t good for your knees especially when you haven’t warmed up in any way – like ctznsmith I’m usually able to go right through the winter with these and a pair of long socks – mind you, winter is pretty mild in these parts.

    Been wearing knee warmers for a couple of weeks now reckon it will be tights by end of the month. Harsh cold weather is not good for knees and joints better to cover up.

    However I’m thinking of investing in a pair of tights of some description this winter as I am going to be riding more than just the commute as I train for RAB 2010

    the higher end dhb tights are really good: good quality, not too expensive. likewise the endura ones.

    No, no, no. That’s the wrong way round. You need to start wearing your full length warm bibs as soon as possible, and keep wearing them for as long as possible next year. This shows other cyclists that you’re finding your riding so easy that you’re not even breaking into a sweat.

    I still only own one pair of shorts (although they are 3/4 length) I got through all of last winter with these combined with a pair of football socks.

    However I’m thinking of investing in a pair of tights of some description this winter as I am going to be riding more than just the commute as I train for RAB 2010. Recommend me some! đŸ™‚
