To protect yourself from cold weather while riding, you should:

• A. Wear proper protective gear like a wind proof jacket and insulating layers.
• B. Wear short sleeves.
• C. Remove all layers to stay cool.
• D. Wear sandals.

Answer: (A)

In cold riding conditions, your best protection is wearing windproof gear and insulating layers. A windproof jacket blocks the wind, while insulating layers trap your body heat, and you can adjust warmth by adding or removing layers as needed. This combination keeps you warmer, preserves dexterity, and reduces fatigue, which helps you ride more safely. Short sleeves offer almost no protection from wind and cold, so you’ll lose heat quickly. Removing layers makes you even colder and less able to respond. Sandals provide little warmth or protection for your feet and toes, and are unsafe for riding in cold weather.
