Yep, same concern here about getting my hands back on the bars after signaling too. I’ll for sure try preheating my gloves.

I’m also looking at getting a heater for my itty-bitty garage soon for reasons unrelated to my bike, which may help with the bars making my hands cold. Although, I’m somewhat skeptical of how much of an effect is really there since rubber grips ought to do a certain amount of insulating.

This led to some fascinating reading on Wikipedia, I never realized our bodies cycled through contraction/dilation like that. I’m going to pay attention to see if I notice it next time I’m outside for a while.

Definitely going to check those out, they’re apparently highly recommended since you’re the third one in this thread to mention them!

Yeah, I can see both sides here. Definitely considered heated gloves or maybe even heated liners or some sort of hand warmer, but I’d like to avoid screwing around with batteries.

I do have something like that, the pogies that I mentioned. It’s an odd word. Specifically, I have Bar Mitts. Not insulated like the ones you linked, but a big improvement over nothing covering my hands even with gloves.

I like the suggestion of keeping my hands moving. Also think tightness may be an issue. I kinda-sorta have liners in the form of the inner pair of gloves, but they’re not intended to be worn inside other gloves so the overall fit is probably a bit snug.

Using Bar Mitts, which are a pretty straightforward neoprene shell. I did consider lined pogies, but I actually quite like how much room is inside these.

I like the idea of work gloves, I suppose anything designed for someone working outside all day in these temperatures ought to also work well on a bike. My ride isn’t too long, up to 15 minutes if I’m going into a headwind. Definitely not spending 2 hours outside on a recreational ride when it’s this cold.

Thanks for the tips!

Every single recommendation for gloves is Izumi, I suppose I’d better check those out 😂

Thanks!

Hah, thanks! South Dakota, USA. Hands are really the only problem, I manage to keep everything else fairly warm with layers.
