- March 10, 2013, 14:00:19 PMIt was 21.5 degrees while I was out and as it was only a few miles and I was wearing the two pair of gloves I was a bit suprised to have such cold hands..I looked up heated grips but the majority of them are for 7/8" bars and my bike has 1" bars..on a whim I decided to look up heated gloves and found a pair of lined waterproof battery heated sports gloves which I am going to order tomorrow for my 5 hour trip in two weeks time, the weather forecast for the next two weeks doesn't promise much improvement.

on wet cold days I have used neoprene gloves with a lot of success, figure if they are good for fishing in the fall and in the cold water they have to be OK for riding too.....and for $7.50 at Canadian Tire really worth the try.

- March 10, 2013, 10:52:28 AMHow about heated grips? A lot of them require replacement of the grips, but a friend of mine bought a set of grip heaters that go inside the grips; take the end caps off and slide them inside. I looked them up on the J&P Cycle site. (see below)I expect there are lower priced sets out there as well.

- March 10, 2013, 05:52:23 AMI took a little ride into the next town this morning, the bike performed the way it should and of course attracted the usual rubber necks, the temperature is just a bit below freezing and although it was only a few miles my fingers nearly dropped off with the cold..I wear leather bike gloves with a pair of thin leather gloves inside but still the cold gets in, I have a 300 mile trip coming up in two weeks so I am going to have to do something about this..
