As cyclists, we definitely face some adverse conditions for our hair. Most runners aren’t out in the elements as long as we are and are going at lower speeds so there would be less wind damage. I used to scuba dive as well and that constant salt water exposure also took a huge toll.

Braiding works quite well for me but that tassel is exposed. Coating it with coconut oil is a great tool but I rarely have the time or discipline to use it. It’s especially problematical in the winter because I have to wet the hair before applying it.

I’m so with you on the mental benefits of cycling. Keeping sane and high on endorphins is well worth the negative effects of the sport on one’s hair.

This has been quite a winter alright! I track the temperature of each ride and my number of below freezing rides is way more than the last two winters combined. The snow has forced me to alter my routes some, sticking to more main roads which are cleared better. Occasionally I still have to go through snowy sections and I manage even with my regular 23mm tires! I find that going straight with decent speed gets you through a lot. Spring will certainly feel glorious. I have to say though that there’s a certain quiet peace to cold weather riding and I absolutely refuse to use an indoor trainer.
