Sure, if you're forced to stop for 10 minutes+ it's chilly but how often does that happen....

Well I don't live in Hobart or Canberra and how many other cities get temps under 5C...I went out this morning in short sleeves and knicks, it was about 10C. Felt great until I got a bloody puncture...AJ_ wrote:Your Clearly don't live in Melbourne.wizdofaus wrote:I know it was half in jest, but seriously...long pants and jerseys when it's anything under 20C?

I think it's just a case of misconversion. The original article (from the pezcycling article) read:wizdofaus wrote:I know it was half in jest, but seriously...long pants and jerseys when it's anything under 20C?

How to Dress for Weather. If the temperature is below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, you must wear knees or better yet, full leg warmers. If you go out of the house in 50 degree weather with bare legs, it doesn’t mean you’re tough, it just means you’re an idiot. In the summer, no matter how hot it gets, you must never wear a sleeveless jersey. Tan lines are the proud mark of a real cyclist. If you must get some additional ventilation, cut a vertical line along the inside seam of your sleeve with a pair of scissors. Not only will this help you stay cool, but it says, “my sponsors give me so many jerseys, I don’t mind wrecking one.”
