The Winter Commute

Blargh.

It is currently 34F outside (feels like 24 at standing speed), right now according to Weather.com.

I'm perfectly warm on my bike ride...except for my poor fingers :( So numb that it's really difficult to type - I'm making a ton of typos...I've been thinking about investing in some gloves, (not that there's much choice, if I don't want the water in my fingers to freeze, expand, and bust my skin cells, at least when it gets a little colder), but I don't really want like...winter gloves. They're too bulky, and I feel like I'll accidentally shift, and I'm not really as "tuned-in" with where everything is.

I've been looking at runners gloves, which look to be pretty thin.

Does anyone have any recommendations on some thin gloves that'll keep me warm?

As a side note: I left my helmet in my girlfriend's car...>_<

Get some normal gloves, and cut the thumb off (or whichever finger you use to shift).

It's pretty cold here, too. D: My fingers get cold even driving a car.

It's a hybrid bike...it kinda takes a full hand to shift.

Regardless, my poor thumb!

When does he ever not have EONs...? I think that's more to the point.
