What would you do?

It's 30F and windy. You discover that you've only packed one shoe
cover. Do you:

a. ride with no shoe cover to avoid looking like a dork.

b. ride with one shoe cover and consider it an opportunity for a
science experiment.

c. alternate the shoe cover from foot to foot periodically so as not
to show any favoritism.

d. decide that you weren't really into the concept of riding today
anyway (AKA California option).

Unless it's below freezing or raining what would you need shoe covers for. I
assume that as a "real" cyclist you have winter shoes that aren't mostly
vented. See Pearl Izumi.

Bret, if you'll allow me...

C'mon, Tom... what part of 30F didn't you understand? For an
engineer, I'd expect that you know that is two degrees BELOW
freezing. Plus, you know damn good and well Bret lives in CO where
the weather is notorious for turning really, really crappy at the drop
of a hat.

Your turn, Bret.

screw the cover, just wear an extra sock, a couple of hours ain't
going to kill or maim you- nice thing is when your foot gets good and
frozen you won't feel it ( until you get back and it warms up a bit-
prepare for a few minutes of silent screaming then it's done)

there you have it, owning a certain kind of shoes makes you a real
cyclist. owning nine bikes also makes you an authority on the sport.

I seem to detect some Canadian wind. Passing wind from the smell of it.

There you have it from such a great source - you shouldn't have winter
cycling shoes.

Improvise- I've worn an old wool sock over my shoe, with a hole in the
bottom for my cleat. Plastic bag. Luke Skywalker used a Tauntaun. If
you don't have a Tauntaun I suppose a gorilla would do.

Apparently Tom doesn't generate much wind chill.

I rode with one shoe cover and in the end it was the hands that were
coldest even with Lobster gloves. There was a noticeable difference in
how cold my feet were but not huge.
