I agree with cycling in skirts & after today's ride in the rain I'm definitely thinking that some leg warmers that cover my knees would be most welcome. That fitting balance is definitely an important consideration for active wear - I'll be keeping that in mind throughout the process for sure.Andrea Rangelhttp://andreaknits.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4621570933183748999.post-35264263763385115262012-10-26T17:31:31.115-07:002012-10-26T17:31:31.115-07:00Thanks for reading!

Or maybe even a cool cabled leggings pattern (shorts/leggings seem like a niche you're pretty good at).<br /><br />I second Jim's neck gaiter idea--I always need my neck to be warm. Maybe a hat/cowl thing that can go under your helmet and still wrap around your neck?<br /><br />When I'm riding, I'm always looking for that perfect combination of form-fitting (so I'm not worried about loose clothes getting caught in spokes, etc.) but not too constricting.<br /><br />I can't wait to see what you come up with!Jessie Khttp://www.bicitoro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4621570933183748999.post-83665763007088834712012-10-26T07:09:42.443-07:002012-10-26T07:09:42.443-07:00Gorgeous photo's!

My husband and I do some casual hiking and in the winter I always wear wool hats and gloves.

Cool! You live in a neat part of the world. Thanks for the kind words.

It's amazing what a difference having your neck covered makes in overall warmth when you're riding down a hill, & wool is, again, perfect since it doesn't clam up like cotton, but is warmer than synthetics. <br />PS. You have some beautiful photos! Makes me miss Tucson, especially the sunsets & the storms.AndreaKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772501602361901322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4621570933183748999.post-61061547111457537862012-10-24T21:31:54.450-07:002012-10-24T21:31:54.450-07:00The photos are very nice!

Re knits-know nothing about it but just bought today a neck gaiter from Ibex at: http://shop.ibex.com/Apparel/Zing/Neck-Gaiter . Seems that type of thing & related might be great as a knit item that could may be be a niche category the way @littlepackage does with her cycling caps. Just saying. Thanks for sharing the pix.

I probably would have started biking long ago, but living in the Seattle, I was too scared of traffic. I agree completely about the wool too!
