I commuted by bicycle today. It was cold, -9 °C in the morning and -8 °C in the afternoon, and the hard wind made it feel colder. The new three-finger winter gloves by Craft were a good investment. Even though they are lightweight they keep the fingers warm.

It was cold this morning, -12 °C, but I didn't get too cold while commuting by bicycle. The new back tire is narrower than the old one, with just 106 studs instead of 240, but it has been good enough. In some places there has been ice underneath the snow on the street, and it has been rather slippery, but I haven't fallen yet.
