Still hearing this one IRL when I show up to race in Feb with bare legs.
This one always blows me away.

I see so many riders that think 55 degrees means booties + thermal tights + winter cycling jacket, etc.. it is a light switch for some people, full winter or full summer. It was in the mid 50s yesterday and I wore shorts and arm warmers and was slightly cold at first and then warmed up, just about everyone I saw was dressed how I dress for 40 degrees.

I have like 4-5 different getups I go through and 5 degrees changes what I wear. I find being overdressed much more miserable than slightly underdressed.
