@ascentale I found at approximately 20°F where I live, with wind chill, it passes the "not worth it" point. Snot freezing to my nose, shifters jamming, and my eyes get pretty raw. Plus, ice... slipping on ice is not worth it, but studded tires are not quite justifiable most winters for me.

@gcvsa @rey @ascentale @MarkBrigham @bikenite Also tried that, but much too sweaty inside, even without the visor which goes completely blind fogged in a minute anyway.
Now I ride this one: https://www.alpina-sports.com/de/rootage-evo-a9750180.html
@blechterror @rey @ascentale @MarkBrigham @bikenite One of the things you have to learn about riding in the cold with a face shield is that you have to direct your breath downward, in order to avoid fogging the shield.

Get yourself a set of these:

The rear wheel still occasionally slipped, but it was no comparison to riding on ice without studded tires.

80 percent of the world’s population is willing to bike as cold as freezing temperature (or melting temp, depending on your perspective); 32 percent claim to be Zero Heroes on the Fahrenheit scale.

@MarkBrigham @bikenite @ascentale my record is -32C (-26F). My partner's record is -37C (-35F). But we've moved since then to a much warmer city that never even gets to -20C (-4F). I don't miss -30C. #BikeNite

@MarkBrigham @bikenite @ascentale these values don't include windchill, because once you cover all your skin (necessary at these temps) windchill doesn't matter anymore. And there's no humidity in the air at these temps, so humidity doesn't matter either.

@xtaran @the5thColumnist @yantor3d @ascentale @MarkBrigham @bikenite I've tried many brands/models of studded tires and these are my favorite so far. Good choice!

@MarkBrigham @bikenite @ascentale methinks you might just be extrapolating from incomplete data here ... not entirely sure that the masodonians are representative of the entire world's population
OTOH, how high do you go?

I've been through a couple of sets of W240s. For a while we had Hakkas on our car and my winter bike.

@ascentale @MarkBrigham @bikenite A3 Missed the poll but I’m about 5 degrees Fahrenheit. I just did a ride close to that and it hurt… #bikenite

@josh: How can that posting be from 2015 if your Pixelfed account is from 2019? Or can you set the date in Pixelfed?

@xtaran I'll let you use my time travel machine if you don't tell anyone else about it.
(This from an Instagram account import. Pixelfed preserves time stamps, or at least did at the time.)

@ascentale @MarkBrigham @bikenite If I could just keep my damn toes warm, I feel like there is no lower limit to temp. Hands are good, head is good, face is good, core gets too hot actually, but I cannot keep my toes warm. #BikeNite
@rowmyboat @ascentale @MarkBrigham @bikenite
Battery warming socks are wonderful. I had the same issue. It would take 4 more hours for my feet to get warm after ther the rest if me.

I agree. I did not start riding at below zero Fahrenheit temperatures until after I got my battery powered heated socks and gloves. -
