    Can't even imagine what -21C must feel like. Was out for 2 hours last week in -2C and despite being well wrapped up it took me 4 hours to feel warm again afterwards. I was surprised when you showed your clothing - it seemed a lot less than I expected.
    The iced over windows on your velomobile didn't look safe. Is there nothing that can be done to keep them clear?

      @@chaircamvideos I periodically wipe the windows so I can see out. The visor I just open a bit and see out underneath. It’s sufficient for safety.
      When it’s 40F inside and you are pedaling hard, you don’t need much clothing. I know of riders who bundle up even less than I do!

      I suppose being enclosed within the velomobile takes any wind-chill effect out of the equation and pedalling is heating your body.

      @ correct. No windchill makes a huge difference. The fact that it was 50 degrees warmer inside the velomobile shows how much your body heats the space. Even when I ride the trainer in the basement with the door closed I can tell a difference in temperature and humidity after the ride.
