If you ride in 25 degrees F and had to wear 2 pairs of long fingered gloves plus mittens to keep your fingers from freezing on the bike.... you'd probably be putting biking way ahead of fake nails on your priority list by that time. Not trying to be catty- I used to have long nails too once upon a time. But then I started playing music and they simply did not fit into my lifestyle anymore.

Now I obsess about my leg muscles instead.
