its too cold, or i am too feeble

I have just bought a pair of these ex German army mitts to wear on the bike, but have realised that I need fingers to change gear!

They are still worth every penny of the £5.99 plus postage that I paid though. The price now also appears to have gone up. German Army Extreme Cold Weather Mitts | eBay

The above mitts arrived safely and whilst they won't be any good for the bike, they were still worth every penny.

On the theme of mitts for using whilst riding the bike, I have corrected my first mistake and have bought a pair of these for £4.99 inc P&P. Swiss Army Winter Mitts Ski Gloves With Trigger Finger | eBay

the keis heated inner gloves work a treat.

I've had cheapo maplin heated gloves before, and they are a bit of a disaster (they heat your palms so you end up with sweaty palms and frozen fingers...never a good look)

but i invested in some heated gear for the motorbike, inner gloves and a body warmer (as i needed to commute into london a handful of times, and buying the heated gear makes the motorbike usable for this) and bought a cheapo 12v battery to power them off the bike -they heat the sides and tops of the fingers meaning no clawing of the hands and flex and feeling in the fingers.

the body warmer was useless of course on the ebike, just exasperating the too hot/too cold thing that happens in cycling, but the gloves work well for me.
