I know a bunch of folks have been asking about studded tires... just wanted to let you know that we've got the Schwalbe Marathon Winters in 700x35c and 26x1.75" for 30% off today at my shop. They're still certainly spendy -- but read the reviews: generally considered the nicest out there. Cheers,

Silk long undies, spandex over the legs, cotton over the spandex, knee high zippered boots (which I shirked last year but now make great sense) smartwool socks under Addidas soccer knee highs, pleated skirt, Russian issue wool nautical coat (or down ski coat), bunny fur ear warmers under a wool ski cap, two scarves, skinny gloves under heavy Polish wool mittens, aviators durng the day and clear safety goggles at night, and Burt's Bees lip balm. I'm warmer on my bike than in my apartment.

Joe, thanks for the suggestion about liner gloves!
AR, I use ski goggles I got from REI 2 years ago. They're made to wear w/a helmet, don't fog up and I can wear them over my glasses. With the goggles and a balaclava, none of my face touches the naked air. I don't think they carry them anymore but I know I bought the cheapest pair and they work really well.

What goggles do you all recommend? The area around my eyes, between my glasses and balaclava, is just freezing...
