Default Bump if you rode to work today.

With it being cold and wet just wanted to see how many weather warriors there are, rode
today 46deg and dry yay. I'll ride to work as long as I can get there dry, I don't usually use
rain gear even though I have a full set. I'll ride in the 20s if it's dry, cold and dry ok, warm and wet
ok just no cold and wet I don't like black ice. So bump if you rode to work today.

I ride all year round, I ride when the temperature is well into the minus range and I have even ridden in the snow. Many people believe me to be a complete idiot for that reason alone but I have spent my entire life on two wheels ok so mostly on bicycles but I always rode them in the snow and pretty much know how two wheels handles in such conditions. Moving to two wheels and an engine it was simply learning about the differences in weight and effects of power on the rear wheel. yes it will slide out but I never really get over 30 mph in those conditions anyway so even if I fell I'd likely walk away, disgruntled but alive. Besides I enjoy riding and want to do so at all times and I refuse to let weather put me off, I actually find riding in strong winds scarier than riding in snow.

Bummer better to be on 4 wheel for that, :bump: 35deg but dry got a little
shrinkage factor going on though. Probably should add a layer.
I got stuck in snow on my vfr got her home and grabbed the car.

I've been riding to work recently. However, when it started to hit the 30's, I decided I need heated gloves...

Bump. I ride to work nearly every day. The only exception being that I don't own rain gear, so if the forcast calls for rain during my commute time I don't ride those days.
