[font=Times New Roman]My legs are warm down to 40F (4C) with the leg warmers. Below 40F and down to 30F(-1C) I still wear my bibs, and leg warmers, but I also wear a pair denim jeans over them (one more layer) to keep my legs warm. [/font]

Hi,

I have got some knee problems, because my saddle height was to high.
After 5 months we figured out what the problem was (I was cyling 3 years with that bike, never had problems, so saddle height isn't the first choise to look after).

Now after a few months I'm able to ride 130 km at the hills, but knee pain or not depends on the weater.
If its a sunny day, 25°C, I can cycle for hours with no problem.
If its a cold day, 12°C, immediately after the beginning the pain begins and remain till the end.
Remark: When I put my hand on my knee, it feels (ice)cold.

I always start with a warming up, when its below 18°C, I'm wearing longpants.

Is there something to keep my knee warm, because it looks like this is a part of the problem?

Regards

Wear knee warmers until you are warm or when the temperature gets better. They are easy to remove without removing your shoes.
