<p>Nope. I don't. Funny, I was just thinking about that yesterday. I really don't worry about it and my longer puffer doesn't have a drop of street gunk on it. I could just throw it in the wash if I need to.</p>

<p>Wouldn't call it epic, but I Divvy'd the 4ish miles from work both Tues/Wed nights. It was actually really relaxing as there weren't a lot of cars out. I've never had a whole lane to myself on LaSalle (and because of the speed I usually cut off to Wells or Clark) but I was able to take a leisurely ride from Randolph all the way to Clark/North on Tuesday.</p>

<p>Head: two hats, balaclava & buff, no eye wear</p>
<p>Hands: ski mittens with thick (25*) bike gloves…</p>

<p>Ok, so disclaimer... in D.C. but we did get a baby polar vortex and I rode through it because I just ride every day. Granted, it's never -55 below zero. I think they worst I've done this winter is -10 wind chill. I loved riding in the snow last Friday on the bricks (see photo below). Not slippery, just fun. I have a slight uphill to the station which I don't notice unless I ride the Brompton with its tiny wheels. I have only had one day I felt like crying but that's because my gear wasn't…</p>

I have a slight uphill to the station which I don't notice unless I ride the Brompton with its tiny wheels. I have only had one day I felt like crying but that's because my gear wasn't adequate (freezing hands hurt). It's close to 60 here today and the sun is out. </p>

<p>Can vouch for that unfortunately named but effective product. I use it for skiing and bicycling (I bike with ski goggles below about 40 degrees to keep my eyes from watering). It's a waxy substance you wipe on the lenses and then wipe off. I use it on both the goggles and my eyeglasses.</p>
