They’d lose their minds. 😂 Even women riding as they were must have pissed off so many people back then.

Counterpoint (because I’ve gone through a ton of heated gloves), most are heated because they are poorly insulated to begin with. Good gloves shouldn’t need to be heated, and good heated gloves tend to be pretty bulky.

I already don’t have great circulation to my hands

Regardless of what option you end up with, it will do you a lot of good to “pump” your hands often while riding to get warm blood there.

It’s also important not to get something that’s going to be too tight; let some space in your gloves serve as a buffer.

That said…

Are your pogies simple neoprene, or are they “thermal” and lined for warmth?

And have you tried gloves with glove liners?

Have you tried “thermal work gloves” that are rubberized on the outside (waterproof, and windproof)? Some are rated to -30C, and they are NOT bulky, but you are expected to be moving around with them, and they wouldn’t work if you were stationary for long periods of time.

How long are your rides in those temperatures? You might not be able to escape the eventual cold if you are doing it for many hours on end.

According to the actual Aluminum Association, only 43% of aluminum cans shipped within the United States are recycled.

Not only that, but unless you can guarantee that a significant portion users will recycle those aluminum cans, they are significantly more energy intensive to manufacture compared to single use plastic bottles.

I love how they basically wore parachutes on their bikes back then, but they still enjoyed the hell out of the ride!

Don’t let polls lull you. Make your vote count! It’s not over until the election results are called.

Time feels way faster as you get older.

It’s also pretty grim that the people you know are either dying, dead, or have a life altering illness that comes out of nowhere. I feel like there’s a funeral in my family once a month, rather than once every decade.
