What are your best tips for dressing for the cold and wet?
wear shorts until its too cold to wear shorts any more(and always have a coat in your pocket)
no tips, in my country is basically the same weather (summer) all year
Armwarmers, legwarmers, wind stopping vest , warm hat under helmet, long gloves. These are warm without much bulk.
@@m0rgOth3185 well now you're making us jealous!
Maybe an oil and vinegar dressing. Should help displace the wet. Don't know what to do about the cold. You cannot exactly microwave salad.
Holy Head Tube, Batman!
Good windproof softshell can be worn without other layers. Quite versatile.
A variation on that theme is gore windstopper - I'm a huge fan of if in the autumn & winter. Keeps the chill away, but you don't overheat - witchcraft!
Just went out for a little 20 mile ride after work on a Friday. Man it’s got really cold all of a sudden in the UK. Not had my own bike for around 10 weeks. So glad to of got it back but man I’ve missed a beautiful summer.
A neck warmer doubles as a mask at the cafe.
And really makes it easier to get going without having heavy layers to pocket
😆 lol
I was watching this at night and when the clip of Conor taking off his leg warmers came on it lit up the whole room.
The optics of Hank and Connor side by side looks like something out of a children’s fairytale story. Love the chemistry between the two of them.
The guys were wearing gilets but didn’t mention them. I find them very useful in combination with good arm warmers.
Thanks for the nostalgia guys. As a Londoner now living in Singapore I’m preparing for my winter rides. The temperature can get as low at 27C!!
So into the jersey pockets go: arm warmers, leg warmers, gloves, raincoat, pump, food, wallet, phone, keys... Maybe I'm better off just getting a frame bag...
The fall season finally arrived in N. California today. I did a big ride and loved the fresh air and scenery, but I forgot a windproof softshell. I really needed it on a 1500-ft descent at the end of the ride. I was cold!
Also, I am thrilled to see Conor and Hank together. They are fun to watch. Next time, Conor, get Hank to visit Ireland.
Perfect timing for this. I always struggle with this time of year. Thanks
Always bring a cap regulating the head, especially for those of us that are follicly challenged
/ bald it's really important and also is lighter than most of the items discussed!
Joe Lyons
Couldn’t agree more. I’m bald and you loose so much body heat from your head.
@@JKNOXDMD I was doing my first ever scuba dive in the Red Sea. I was a skinny 15 years old boy back than and despite the water being 27°C I and me wearing a 3mm neoprene shorty, I was extremely cold after 10 Minutes.
There was this very experienced British diver on the boat also, who told me that you loose about 30% of heat via your head and lent my his hood for the second run, which was much more enjoyable.
John Knox we’re not bald just decided to be more aero 😂
This vid has come at just the right time for me. Had the full gamut of temperature changes today....20 out the door, then 17 mid ride, then back to 20 !. Luckily I was prepared, and my jersey zip saved the day :)
Thanks for the tips! Already had a cold ride this year so I'm going to use these tips to try and stay warm :)
Just completed my 1st 50mile ride and as a proper new cyclist I came straight home and ordered a skull cap & long fingered gloves. I live & learn
Base layers, warmers, and a thin wind vest.
Thanks for the tips guys 👍🏻
The best thing i have ever bought has to be the Castelli ROS jacket, worth every penny, not just for autumn well in to deep winter too very versatile as it has an inner vest liner that you can unzip on warmer days or zip up to give you two layers at the front chest area on colder days, superb bit of kit.
@Paul Wieringa Sell now if i were you, if you know what is coming very soon.
What I love about GCN are the great tips that will definetly need to follow if you're into bike sports. And on top of that, the unpayable british humour/accent that comes in every video makes you really enjoy it ! Best regards from Switzerland and keep on going 😃
Great video, thanks for some good info. This year I have decided I am going to ride even when the weather turns cool. Normally I put the bike up in November and get it out in March. This year I’m riding as much as I can until it gets bitter cold or snow.
Great video...very timely!
6:35 A fell runner friend of mine has a saying - "Be bold: start cold"
Very Good, like an onion in layers! Got it now. Thanks guys. Well done.
Where i live, ride all year and these tips goes to the winter while other seasons a wind vest do all the tricks.
1:42 shrek is love, shrek is life
Thank you very much
I starting to love Hank 😍😅
Hanks laugh, nothing beats it 😂😂😂😂😂
A decent gilet is the most versatile piece of kit to own imho
Connors bike head tube is longer then the top tube of Hanks bike! This guys are hilarious side on side. Nice vid champs!
went out yesterday, sunshine, wind sudden rain downpour, then hail and finished in sunshine ! and it was only 40 odd kms ! You cant beat the Uk weather !
In winter, I wear a helmet cap that covers the ears and clear lens glasses to prevent tearing up.
I got a reward for the Trek 100 ride and used it to help get some hi vis sleeves and black leg thermals.
FFS how much are we expected to put in our back pockets?
1:22 That bit of road on Bannerdown has got to be one of the smoothest around. If only they were all like that.
How do I know that winter is fast approaching? GCN starts talking about proper attire for fall cycling.
Best wishes from Iceland!
For autumn-winter-spring my bikes are dressed in Lezyne Super Drive 1600 XXL led front and Laser Drive 250 led rear lamps. My eyze!😆
Dress for the predicted second hour temperature of the ride!
Keep it up I love your videos so much could you make a vid on how to get better at your time trial
Don't forget to just suck it up! Nothing wrong with being cold. I have seen too many people with full winter kit when its like 45-50 degrees out.
Don’t forget something for your neck when it’s less than 10 deg C! Also, dedicated winter shoes/boots with gaiters can save lives when it’s really cold and wet!
In the past. When I've been out for a ride wearing my mitts and the temperature has dropped. I have just put my gloves on over my mitts. I usually only do this with thinner gloves.
I can't believe you neglected mentioning the buff! Especially with the whole C word going on around the world at the moment! Buffs are great at this time of year. I do concur on the rest, though. and probably would have mentioned gilets and 3/4 bibs - and that some warmers are fleece lined and others are not. Plus I might have given rough temperature boundaries that clothing is useful for. Just some extras to think about :D
I agree on Buffs being a great piece of clothing. However, their value as face mask is quite low, and should be avoided, as it doesn’t really filter anything. Sad, but true
@@ronaldbrachetti576 Absolutely in terms of medically, however if you need to step into a cafe etc. to use the loo then (at least here in the UK) a face covering is needed - and the buff is perfect for that, therefore has dual usage!
Tip for using a buff as a mask: Fold the buff over in layers. I use a wool buff, and fold it so it is four layers thick around my mouth and nose. That is enough protection to protect others. There was a study conducted with a buff that many cite to say a buff is inadequate, but that study only looked at number of droplets, and they only used one layer (and in their paper they admit their findings should not be used as a measure of safety, meerly as a means to show how to potentially measure number of droplets expelled).
Bottom line, if you fold the buff to leverage multiple layers, and social distance, they should be good enough for protecting others (most masks other than n95 and above are meant to protect others in case you are asymptomatic).
I commute to work at 2 am and wear a thermal base layer, my one and only summer jersey, a pair of bib tights, gloves and occasionally arm warmers and overshoes if it’s raining
Sandwich bag over each foot/sock before you put the shoe on. Makes an amazing difference.
Yeah, but if the feet can't "breathe" they sweat which could make them colder.
Just remember to remove the bags later in the day if the weather heats up.
Anyone else obsessed with Hanks laugh?
I’ve been hoping for a video like this!
00:18 I was grinning ear to ear at the bike size difference lol
Great video guys! I miss the suggestion of having a transparent pair of glasses tho. During autumn you can run out of daylight rather quickly, especially when riding in the evenings.
I don't think you missed on anything, however adding links to gear in the description would be a termendous help - especially for us non-native english speakers =)
"Check the weather forecast" I would never have thought of that🤪
Shorts and short sleeve Jersey... arm warmers. Light rain coat if it rains. Maybe gloves if there's wind chill. And d9nt stop riding
Gloves help !
5C is bloody cold to us Aussies, and 15c is still bloody cold. Was in the UK last may. Damn frozen riding, Glad I bought all my winter gear. Local were stripped to racing gear at 15c. Must have thought I was an eskimo.
the head tube length of that bike....
Should be illegal
Looks like he’s riding 650B wheels eh haha
The bright green makes it look like a giant beanstalk!
@@adamweb True
Not doing much layering in Miami. I’ve used my leg and arm warmers twice in the last 3 years.,,
I don;t even need to watch this.. I sorted all these dillemas out by doing 1 thing... I moved to Mallorca.. seemples! enjoy yer winter lads!!
PS - being from Scotland... I wear short sleeves all year.. as winter here is like a good summer where am fae!!
That Shrek quote was very well placed.
My best tip is to keep your jacket zipped and unzip your under layers. That way you will always be aero and you can control your core temperature better.
If your not sure about how many under layers you will need, put on your vest or jacket and leave them unzipped. If you do get cold you can always zip the under layers up. I ride 6,000 + miles a year, in all weather (except ice).
Enjoy and be safe

conor is a giant in cycling
below 15C the only biking is on ZWIFT ;)
I did my first century today:)
It took a lil longer than I thought but I mean I’m 16 and I did it in just under 5 and a half hours
@@jamesswinney7484 in kilometres or miles
@@stefanvasilev8708 feet
Well done James! 🥇
@@mbal4052 cringe
What do you think about rain pants? A cold rain shower soaking the tights / leg warmers can make you really cold and possibly sick... Also the water could trickle into the shoes
Having a giant really improves the video about men taking and putting on clothes.
It's always cute when Brits tell Canadians (in my case) how to dress for bad weather. :)
My wife got me what I call "toe mittens" from Pearl Izumi. They are great! Covers the front of your shoes.
For a second I read toe kittens.
Connor's bike looks like a tank.😂😂
Base layer, eh? I sweat so much, even in the coldest temps. I'd never thought to try one until now. Thanks! It makes total sense. I do like to wear nitrile gloves under my full finger gloves in the winter since it keeps the sweat from soaking my gloves and making my hands cold. One very important tip with fall riding is eye protection. I prefer a yellow or orange lens because it provides contrast while protecting my eyes from falling detritus/rain. I have acquired a pair of sunnies with photochromatic lenses so we'll see how they work this season.
I can't understand riders who ride without eye protection, whatever season it is. 100% the most critical piece of equipment.
@@maxrevell3830 absolutely agree! I thought I was the only Lenny ua-cam.com/video/pRslzYZxC2I/v-deo.html&ab_channel=fourfingerdiscount
@@SioLazer lol
Conor's pockets must be like a tardis with the amount of stuff he has put in them
Taking the Green Jungle Gym out for an autumn ride, aren't you Connor...
I was really disappointed when Conner pulls over to take off the leg warmers. I really wanted to see the “on the bike while pedaling” method.
It's very simple; do not do that. Safety is important!
@@HumbleWolves but gcn presenters are exempt from the concerns of real life
Make a note of what you need to wear for what temperature. e.g. Anything below 19 C, I'll need my big jacket
First there was the Global Cycling Network. Then came GCN Tech and GCN Racing. Now its time for a new channel: GCN Fashion
Knee warmers!!!
Things there’s “nothing worse” as according to GCN #625: cold feet. I have the suspicion they are working with a just a binary system instead of a scale 😆
Be bold start cold
Good video but having say stay visible the talker rider wears a dark to & a black rain jacket??
Problem with the temperature drop us that it wreaks havoc with my sinuses and I don't feel right until at least an hour into the ride, it's a tricky thing to get past.
Fixed gear content next please, for the fixie boys
A chest sized piece of bubble wrap down the front of your jersey. When you’re hot it’s easy to take out.
I need to get myself a cap. I find top of my head freezes in the wind. Could be the lack of hair...
How to dress up for summer on the other side of the hemisphere. Oh yes summer is almost around the corner down under spring is here already!!!
I wish I could post a picture, I just went for a ride and I could’ve use this video ahead of time...
An ass saver or mudguards on the bike really help to 🚲
Yeah I use Zefal Swan muders, recommended.
Autumn is a beautiful season, but not my favourite time of the year to ride a bike 🥶
What kind of front bike light is that, Conor?
I try to refrain from commenting on UA-cam videos but I can't help it:
1) Conor's bike color scheme is fantastic but the length of the steerer tube is obnoxious (and I am a tall rider myself)
2) Please prove that all thea accessories (arm warmers, leg warmes, rain jacket, gloves, ...) fit all together in the back pockets
3) I am seriouusly disappointed that Hank was not able to put on his overshoes while riding
----------
Overall - great edutainment as usually!
Cycling’s very own Little & Large
Where I live we only have summer and spring
" Stay as visible as possible" - so why is the other GCN kit black?
Did you ever see a black car?...
The difference in size of Hank and Connor at the start - I think we've found Hank's real Dad!!!
Old pro, Dan or Sy?
For hands, you cannot go wrong with bar mits. Warm and keeps the tape dry and clean.
Bar mitts are not allowed on some group rides in my cycling club. Not all rides but some where the spacing is tight and the pace is fast.
Just one Q: How do you put everything into your pockets? +Food?
@Andrew Murray My pump is attached to my bike. And the spare tube is under my seat. But my phone and these days a mouth and nose mask indeed. 😂
Hey.... how to buy GCN Racing kit???
Overshoes work only for a short time, after about 30 minutes in rain you will get wet feet
Connor, now THAT is a head tube...
Didn't Ireland go back into lockdown? Are we going to get a video called Escape from Ireland?
Size contrast lol
3:59 the difference between GCN riders and utility riders. The lads are talking about leg warmers as some bloke carrying a massive bundle on his shoulder bikes by them in the other lane
