The Buang Biker begins his 3.5km jaunt on a 20F/-7C Sunday afternoon. Wind chill made it feel more like 9F/-13C. Loved it!
The ride was a test for winter biking gear. The light thermalware and extremely light, but windproof, jacket and balaclava worked like a charm. Only the gloves really didn’t work out. Oh and my handlebar-mounted phone died about 14 minutes in. Apparently the battery froze. Lessons learned for the next wintry ride. 😉
The phone was mounted on the handlebars. After the first 10 minutes it shutdown like the battery was removed. Annoying because I was trying to have someone take a screenshot of me while we chatted on a video call. Took about 15 minutes inside to warm up enough to turn on again.
