 |
|
Just in case you're wondering how cold it might feel while riding a bike in temperatures like what we've been having the past few days, here's a quick reference guide:
*Still Air Temp (Fº) + Avg. Bike Speed (15 mph) = Wind Chill Temp (Fº)
50º + 15mph = 36º
40º + 15mph = 22º
30º + 15mph = 9º
20º + 15mph = -4º
10º + 15mph = -18º
0º + 15mph = -31º
-10º + 15mph = -45º
*does not figure in existing wind chill

If you're going slower/faster. Plus calculated frostbite times. Of course if you're riding into a wind, your wind speed will be greater.
