I am a Canadian from Northern Ontario.
Cold on your knees may not be a cause of your knee pain. Putting wraps and bandages on might just make it feel worse. You don't need much on your legs. Above about 7 degrees celsius ( 45 degrees fahrenheit ) shorts are appropriate. I love seeing the ride reports from the beautiful States but I notice that people sometimes overdress there. For outdoor activities, a pair of light wool dress pants can't be beat. Second hand, or even an old pair from a "marrying and burying suit." You don't need to buy any cycling- or sports-specific legwear. For really cold weather, the most you would need is a pair of long johns with some kind of synthetic layer over. If you get cold, pedal harder. If you start to sweat too much, slow down or rest until you cool to the right level. Keep cycling and maybe do some resistance/weight training to build up your quads and hamstrings; that will help with most knee problems. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
