I was thinking of asking my grandma for these next christmas:

Dorky? I don't even care. They look warm, and I want one in neon pink. And I would be lost with earplugs, I really rely on my hearing in traffic. Right now I'm just wearing hats, but they don't have as much ear coverage as I'd like.

OMG! I have a cycling friend who knits and also lives in chilly, rainy climate. Sending this to her RIGHT NOW.
