How to Stay Warm Bike Touring in Cool Weather

One of my favorite parts of bike touring is getting to truly experience the natural world, including all of its moods and weather. Growing up mostly indoors and in Southern California, I've had to put a lot of effort into learning how to be safe and comfortable when the temperatures drop below freezing though. In this video, I share some of what I've learned and how I think about being prepared for cold weather when on tour.
