Anyone else get earache when cycling on a windy day? Tonight was fairly mild but very windy and my left ear was aching a lot. What's the solution, earplugs?
as above, a buff or if you are prone to getting earache cotton wool (shouldn't impair your hearing too much)....i wear a buff on my early morning commute....helps keep my ears warm
I don't get earaches as such but if it's windy I'll consider wearing a skull cap under my helmet even if it's fairly warm, mainly because less wind noise makes riding less stressful for me.
I always shave my hair short and have found a merino wool skull cap to be the best thing to keep your head and ears warm. Great to about -5, wicks brilliantly and still keeps you warm when it is wet from sweat or rain. Thin enough to fit under your helmet without too much fuss. Not very expensive either (about £15).

I get earache quite often if its at all windy, when my hairs short and i wear a helmet. For some reason the wind seems to be very noisy around the helmet.
