New Kickstand!
My very elegant, Copenhagen Dual-leg kickstand by Velo Orange, purchased from HoopDriver has been installed.
What makes this kickstand so special is that when it is retracted, the two legs fold together to one side which makes it very compact when not in use.
I really love it!
Here I am in my winter riding uniform! This is what I usually wear when the temperatures are between 5°C to -8°C-ish. When it’s colder, I switch up my coat to a longer parka.
• a wool coat with quilted lining
• jeans with leggings underneath
• shoes with socks doubled-up
• leather gloves
• helmet with winter lining (that has ear flaps)
I usually warm up quite quickly after I start riding, so under my coat I’m usually wearing a cardigan and a short-sleeved shirt. If I were walking leisurely, these layers would not be enough. I would definitely be wearing a wool sweater to keep warm!
Do you have a ‘uniform’ for riding in colder weather?
you are such a cute snow trooper with that adorable snow mixte <3
xxom
teehee <3 gracias!!
I want to know what gloves you are using. My fingers freeze unless I’m wearing my gigantic, ugly Paws gloves, and even they are not perfect.
And I covet your kickstand.
Oh … you would not survive with my gloves. They are just black leather gloves and usually by the end of my ride my hands are hot and I contemplate taking them off!
Andre on the other hand has to double up on his gloves and his fingers get so cold he can hardly bend his fingers!
I think I’m an anomaly!
