I'll occasionally ride downtown because it's such a different way to see the city.<BR/><BR/>I wasn't sure if toe covers or full booties would be the best bet or even bigger shoes with lots of wool socks -- this is my first year to ride in the cold. Otherwise I'm a fair weather biker.JPTwinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348686531981776474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15168329.post-29086709039960047482008-03-31T08:57:00.000-04:002008-03-31T08:57:00.000-04:00Excellent question!

Weekends are usually pretty full of family activities, so it's nice to do a good ride (on traffic-free roads!) before everybody is up and around.<BR/><BR/>Toe covers sound like a great idea...

I realize that while I have *almost* the right amount of gear, that still wasn't enough to save my toes. i'm off to Wheelworks today to get some toe covers!<BR/><BR/>Geoff<BR/>JP, MAJPTwinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348686531981776474noreply@blogger.com
