I bought a set of hippohands (www.hippohands.com) for the bike. THese things are great. They install on the handlebars over the controls and basically enclose your hands in a pocket of still air, eliminating the wind chill. This morning I rode to work it was 50 degrees and I had my perforated summer gloves on and my hands were WARM. I can't wait to see how they perform when it is really cold out, but th eidea is that it will be as warm inside these as it would be if you were standing still. At 35 degrees and 55MPH the windchill is 2 degrees. It is hard to keep the fingertips warm at these temps. I might be able to get by with a lighter set of gloves all winter.
