gives this advice to- those who ride
their wheels right through the winter:

the human frame so susceptible to the
effects of the cold. More than ever it
is necessary that the. whole of the
clothing should be of wool, as with the
body thickly clothed nothing should be
worn which will not allow the moist
exhalations of the body to escape"
