The daily "I cycled to work" thread

Blimey it was chilly this morning, having a few days off the bike (see helmet thread) post crash, but took the dogs out and it was brilliantly sunny and misty @ 07:30 but about 8 degrees. Its not a complaint as I dont mind the cold, I just hate the extra faff due to the increased layers you need.
Will try and hang onto shorts and long sleeve top until October then the leg warmers come out.
Saturday morning @ 8am was quite balmy, about 6 degrees warmer!

ALDI bike stuff sale this Thursday so some arm warmers are on the cards.
Just been having a quick look through the stuff on offer after thinking this morning that I'd probably need a top with long sleeves pretty soon, when this caught my eye:https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/thursday-25-...
Does anyone any reviews to offer? I'm also curious how warm it is as I'd just need it to keep the wind off really as I'm naturally quite warm blooded and will rapidly overheat if it turns out to be too well insulated.

I'm still in fingerless gloves and shorts, no need base layers or thermals yet. I am part polar bear, though...
Same here but I'm on the south coast so I've got a good excuse.What a fantastic ride home this evening. 19 miles of light(ish) traffic, beautiful weather and courteous drivers.
Not one near death experience.
The perfect commute home
