A2. Davis, CA has some cold days in the dead of winter, but I haven't yet needed special footwear other than just making sure I have good winter socks in general. I'm trying Darn Tough brand right now since they come with a lifetime warranty.

Eyewear is more about keeping bugs out of my eyes. I've gotten gnats/mosquitos hitting my eye hard at least twice here in Davis. Haven't found a good affordable brand yet that fits me. #BikeNite

A2. When it's cold/wet, I don't tend to wear anything special for my eyes, but I do try to take care of my feet.

When it's wet: I've tried a few things, from waterproof shoes to bags. What seems to work the best for me is neoprene socks.

When it's cold: I tried plastic bags for that too, which worked OK. I think a better option has been to wear booties around my shoes. The ones I have fit over specialized cycling shoes and casual shoes as well. But I don't get to do this often as it rarely gets cold enough to do so here.

A2: Fall here is actually quite dry usually, but the cooler mornings get pretty close to or just below freezing, so a jacket, bike gloves, and a toque become standard attire. Usually don't need them in the afternoon, though, as daytime highs are often still quite pleasant.

Footwear I don't usually need to change either until we get into deep freeze temps.

Over eyeglasses Solar Sunglasses during the day, if the wind starts getting cold at night I wear safety goggles (helps in rain, too).

Footwear I might add another layer of socks.

A2:
I live in the PNW so winters tend to be very wet, but not terribly cold. I wear Tifosi photochromic glasses year round. They’re just OK in the rain so I’ve ordered some larger ROKA “shield” glasses to hopefully have better coverage when it’s really raining.

For shoes I have big 45NRTH boots that are both extremely warm and dry, but are big & heavy & overkill for the winters here. I just got some Shimano MW5 shoes, but haven’t yet tested them in the rain. #BikeNiteA

if it’s too cold for my eyes, I’m switching mode to walk/bus. But as for my feet: wool is the ticket. Quality socks help more than the fancy shoe covers I used to wear.

I also keep dry socks at work (often my destination) because nothing makes you cold like being wet.

A2: No special eyewear. Glasses help some against ice and snow, and I won't ride when the wjndwhill is instant frost burn.

I need to get water resistant shoe covers

#BikeNite A2: Eyewear: Just my normal correcting glasses. They suffice and I need them anyway.

Footwear: half-high hiking shoes and either merino or alpaka wool double-layered socks. (But I run around in either low or half-high hiking shoes or hiking sandals all year anyway, so maybe just the different socks are relevant. 😉)

A2: Honestly, I don’t have any special wearable cycling gear at all—I always wear whatever I want to be wearing on the other end of my ride in terms of footwear and eyewear. All my cycling-specific gear is for my bikes, not me. If I were mountain biking, I might feel differently, of course.

I stop cycling for the season when the snow comes, also (probably not that long from now, alas).
