But you also need to protect exposed skin while cycling in the cold, windy conditions too.
Before setting out on a particular windy/cold day, make sure to apply some vaseline to your face.
This lessens the effect of wind/chill on exposed skin and it helps protect the skin against the elements.
remember to take them off when you get home to the boss or she may feel threatened ...limerickman said:One final tip, for very cold weather cycling.
This is probably one of the more unusual tips.
And it is strictly for you anaemic types.
If you’re going out for a spin on a particularly cold day, it might be an idea to get your other half to buy you a pair of tights (I don’t know what they call them, stateside) to wear under your leggings.
I kid you not.
Tights are excellent for maintaining body heat – especially when worn under cycling leggings.
(for the record, the L-Man never suffers from the cold – so I never have to resort to this tip because I'm an 'ard *******, but I do know some cyclists who hate the cold and use this tip).
