Winter riding

polara7777 · 12-23-2002, 02:24 PM

OK I catch a lot of flak from everyone cause I ride my bike year round. I ride it to and from work during the winter and people seem to think I'm an idiot. I live in MS for crying out loud! It's not like it actually gets really cold. Anyone else here ride all year? My dad and I both do. If there is ice on the road we'll avoid riding but other than that.... Heck I've even riden in the snow. We'll MS's idea of snow.

I definitely don't ride the bike in the winter... It goes in storage when it gets cold out... way too dangerous in the winter... a lil too easy to lose control.. of course I think I might get some pretty weird looks in Chicago if I was ridin the bike with snow flyin... Be safe!

i too ride year round, but i got a dirt bike so thats a bit different

its fun as hell to wing around the local gravel pit going over the constructed jumps in the snow.

Of course I ride year round.

I've got a rain suit, which I bought after riding 150 miles back to school, in the dark, in the rain, without one. That was a long ride.

I'm going riding tomorrow, and racing (on the bike) Jan 4.

Basically if there is not snow on the ground and I am not too lazy to put my gear on, I ride in the winter. Sometimes in the morning it is too cold for me, but I hate mornings anyway.
