The morning commute

Note to self:

An appropriate amount of clothing for morning commute at 40 degrees F:

2 short-sleeved t-shirts

1 long-sleeved t-shirt

1 light wind-breaker jacket

Long-john underwear

Cut-off Dickie's

Low-top Chuck Taylor tennis shoes

Stocking cap under the helmet

Biking gloves covered by brown cotton gloves

I was pretty comfortable and got a little warm toward the end of the ride. I think I prefer the headband-type ear warmer under my helmet over the stocking cap, too, since my head got very warm at times. But it was sure nice having the wind-breaker on those streets where the wind whipped through like a tunnel!

Not to mention when you are riding a fixed-gear bike you can actually hear birds singing in the morning.
