Im in Millwaukee, Wisconsin and have been able to take a few rides the last 2 weeks. Has been cold but who cares! Ive been dying to get out and ride! As long as theres no ice/snow/large chunks of salt on the road Im riding!

 

Yes winter really sucks. I just got my bike this past summer and this is my first winter with it. With the cold weather that brings snow and ice and then when it is warmer there is so much crap like gravel on the road I just don't ride my bike. I wish I lived somewhere that I could ride year round. Sucks paying for a bike each month also that I can't even ride all the time

 

I got called up for an alert this December. It was about 15 degrees outside, but the roads were dry and it hadn't snowed at up to this point. My suburban was out of gas, so I figured what the heck, I'll take the bike. The fool that I am didn't check the forecast. Around 11 o'clock it starts dumping snow. I'm headed home in the snow, because my wife is having contractions for the first time. I live out in the country, and the snow plows hadn't done their majic yet... Fresh powder sucks. It took me over an hour and a half to get home, instead of the 25 minutes it normally takes. And I had icecicles hanging off my bars when I got there. ACK!
