When cycling in the midst of a snowstorm, in sub-zero temperatures and a headwind roaring out of the Arctic at 15 metres per second, a hat is a nice idea.
This is cycle *chic*, I know, but as a daily (folding) bike commuter in Copenhagen, my way of coping with the winter hat-wise, is to use tight transparent sunglasses and a snowboard helmet.
It works great, but I have to admit, isn't the most stylish solution...
I truly love seeing people on bikes in the snow. Thanks for these pics.
ReplyDeleteI love the hat in the very last photo.Looks like a modern version of a 'sou-wester'?
ReplyDeleteI need boots like the person in the last photo! Wonder where they are from. Can I order them online? :)
ReplyDeleteI never leave the house without a hat. Val
