Its really not that bad out there guys! Something to block the wind on the outside, a modest insulating layer and cover up the bear skin and its really no worse than riding at 20 degrees or 40 degrees.

Mark Clear, resisting the urge to google "heated face warmer"

This product is pretty much the next best thing:

Mine is similar but its a bit smaller, does not cover the ears (my balaclava or hat do that) and velcros together in back of my head so its easy to put on and take off when I get too hot. And I often get too hot in it, I can't wear it above 10 F! You can get it at Fontanas. There is a similar item available at REI: http://www.rei.com/product/725711

As for goggle fogging, the above type face mask prevents hot air from fogging the outside of the goggles. Double-lensed goggles help too. I usually wear glasses but have to take them off when its really cold because they just fog up under the goggles. So I see better without them than with them.

Then get some warm mittens or poagies for your hands and nothing will stop you!

bike winter!
