    They’re “usable” to a certain extent, but range is cut by the cold and the wind on your skin is murder. Also, of course, you should never ride if there isn’t sand on the ground for your tires to grip or (even better) you have studded tires - even the smallest patch of ice can be disastrous.

    But you can totally do it. I got some strap on arm guards for my handlebars and my helmet has a visor to block the wind, works pretty well.
