friends -- how do your kids keep their legs warm on the ?
My 4th grader is riding her own bike now so a blanket is no longer an option.

Also taking recommendations for handlebar mitts for small people.

Thank you!!

@DrTCombs Not kid approved, but for a single layer I've had good luck with flannel lined pants (though they might be too warm all day indoors) and my sister likes tights made of actual wool for warmth. Also for her hands you can get gloves that have a mitten part that's separate and windproof (not glittens).

They might look sort of tacky, but you might be able to find wind resistant ones (and that's the big thing with cold on the bike): breakaway pants. The type with the snaps on the sides.

@SRLevine YES BREAKAWAY PANTS! That's what we need. Tacky is fine as long as it can be ripped off to reveal the glittery rainbow leggings underneath.

@SRLevine Also I am wearing flannel lined pants right now with no plans to change until the daffodils come up.

@DrTCombs I think they do not make a wool version of glittery rainbow leggins that I know of, which is sort of unfortunate for femme people in colder climates.
