  • Winter cycling in Northern Europe - Estonia, just a bit outside of our capital Tallinn. It was between -10 to -14 Celsius that day. Roads covered with layers of older lumpy ice and lighter fresh snow on top. It was still surprisingly warm and no issues what so ever - just layer up!
    A short list of the gear used:
    * Bike - older model Cube Cross Race cyclocross bike with 10 speed Shimano 105 groupset
    * Chain lube - Squirt Low Temperature. Smooth as butter even in this cold and chain is very clean after the ride: www.squirtcyclingproducts.com...
    * Tires - Schwalbe Marathon Winter Plus 35mm - www.schwalbe.com/en/spike-rea...
    * Hammerhead Karoo 2 computer, Garmin Varia RTL515 light-radar
    Clothes:
    * Shimano SH-MW702 winter shoes - www.bike-discount.de/en/shima...
    * Neoprene overshoes from AliExpress (works just fine and good quality) - www.aliexpress.com/item/10050...
    * Merino socks - any decent one will do
    * Gorewear C3 winter bibs - www.bike-discount.de/en/gorew...
    * Regular light running tights on top as second layer
    * Random long sleeve base layer from Lidl - around 10 Eur
    * Merino base layer from MooMoo, a proper Estonian brand and really recommended - moomoo.ee/toode/meriino-tuule...
    * Siroko J1 jacket (big fan of the company, really decent stuff) - www.siroko.com/p/j1-soulor-wi...
    * Shimano Infinium gloves - bike.shimano.com/en-EU/produc...
    * Livall Evo21 smart helmet - www.bike-discount.de/en/lival...
    * Some random winter cap underneath
    PS! Laphroaig or Glenlivet whiskey recommended post-ride!
