Is this another GCN clickbait video? Or actually worth watching?

Either way it'll kill some time on Zwift later! :cry:

Here it is - food for thought

reaffirms my view of less is more.

very rarely do I go more than a jersey, don't even have long bibs either, just shorts.

I commuted like that for years and got away with it, legs can get cold but core etc seems to be comfortable. Even 5c and below I end up unzipping my jersey.

You obviously dont ride in Winter then! Sorry but there is no chance in hell you can ride in shorts in 0C. I run very hot, and have a rep for being the first person in shorts in late winter/spring, but there is no chance I would ride in shorts in this weather. I can't imagine it's great for your joints too.

(above is assuming you're arent just commuting for 5 mins or so, and are going on longer rides, hours long)

I guess I don't ride long, max I do is 2hrs but I have done 0 and below in shorts, last year for e.g. -2c outside in rain.

my knees were red when I got back so like you say, probably not ideal.

but when I commuted in london - 12 miles each way, 45-50mins I only ever did it in shorts, all year round.
