I know this is gonna sound terribly Canadian of me, but I ride in shorts until it's below 0C (32F).
I wear a couple jerseys and a vest.
I admit, the snow is another problem all together, but it usually just means one layer of tights and
a Goretex jacket. I don't even change my gloves.
At around -10C, I'm in the same clothing, but I make sure that I have heavier gloves on, a helmet
liner and possibly a facemask if it's really windy. By the time it's down to -25C, that's when I'm
worried about really layering my clothes on.
Well, even if you don't know what cold weather riding is, at least you're still riding.
That said, I'd rather it was 25C out here and sunny. I may ride in the extreme cold, but I have a
lot less fun than in the summer.
As for where to get stuff, all of the stores here just carry that stuff as a matter of course. Maybe
find a Canadian friend and get them to send it down.
