Pardes, what a great image of you with the helmet lights. New motivation for me to get helmet lights. I would like to know about the pants you describe. My pants that are great for hiking/camping feel kind of icky on the bike.

BleeckerStGirl, I am going to look for the windproof gloves you describe. I have umpteen layers, but need something windproof.

Who knew winter could be this much fun?
