    With temperatures predicted to be in double digits (disclaimer: for a couple of hours, in some parts of the country) who will be leaving the tights and warmers behind? In the vain hope that Spring might spring and stay sprung. Will all the winter miles straining against black roubaix pay off? Will you bound over the Dales like a lamb? Please wax lyrical…

    It’s been thermal longs or warmers this winter, apart from just knee warmers when racing.
    Was leg warmers yesterday, it was still in the low singles at 7am yesterday.
    I’m all for keeping the knees covered below 15, having varying weights of warmers help.
    Riding at 0 with uncovered knees just makes you a fool, not a hardman.

    Plenty of cyclists out in Bristol today, I left home with a jacket and LS jersey but had to put the jacket in my pannier after 2 miles of gentle climbing.

    Jacket, tights, waterproof trousers and cleated wellies today. 11 degrees, 40kph wind and pissing down in Glasgow.

    Saw two other cyclists in an hour and a half on the road…

    Regretted my tights and LS gabba today – it really was a proper shorts/kneewarmers/armwarmers sort of day.
    Bloody glorious.

    I ended up getting them out in the end 🙂 Though my fairly unscientific straw poll suggested I was definitely in the minority when looking around.

    Lots of folks out lapping out the sunshine today, lovely day for it.

    ooh everybody’s a hard
    ooh everybody’s a hard man.

    You have to keep your legs warm through the winter rides to get the best out of them. This weekend might be the first time in a while that the shorts won’t be accompanied by the leg warmers though.

    I have not worn full length
    I have not worn full length tights at all in over a year, they were put away in the Autumn of 2013. My legs have had exposed skin on my calves all through the winter, I’ve had knee warmers and shorts or 3/4 bibs regardless of the temperature.

    10-15, knee warmers
    15+ shorts

    add 5 to each of those and i’ll agree.


    Some of you are preposterous, warmers to 20 degrees?! If I did that it would be summer for about two weeks a year. ‘It should be a rule’ have you forgotten Rule 5#? Come on, show those carbuncles.

    different people feel the weather differently, on the mtb i can get away with c15C but i feel cold until it gets to c20C on the road bike. Does depend on the sun though.

    Shorts? I had a quick ride today not realising I was still wearing pyjama trousers under my jeans! =)) (Morning routine a bit rushed!) I wondered why early March felt warmer than usual…
