Not sure how many cyclists are around. Anyways, what functional but weirdo looking gear do you use once it starts getting colder?

    Snowboarder jackets are great for city life and winter biking because you can get one that looks reasonable fashionable to your standards, they are warm and wind/rain/snow proof, snow lock that keeps cold winds out, and generally functional with zippers to vent body heat and humidity and lots of pockets and whatnot.

    Also rain chaps that protect your thighs and shins from rain and fold up small into a pocket of the aforementioned jacket.

      Oh yeah! Nokia winter tires with studs. Makes a world of difference in Scandinavian winter. I could easily plow through half a meter of ice and snow on my old city bike without worries. Not cheap but they will last many many many seasons.
