Snow can be fun

i ride to work year round and find the winter conditions challenging but fun.  i choose to use a single speed mountain bike with studded tires slightly deflated.  they handle fantastic and if you only ride that bike when conditions call for it they last many seasons.  also having fenders is a must in my opinion.  also be ready for some increased maintenance as you will be gunking everything up when riding through the sludge.  specifically clean your chain regularly and grease it.  also if yoiu have aluminum parts beware and make sure you wash them regular if you are in an area where they use salt.  as far as clothes i think the winter time is the perfect time for bib tight.  seals out the wind and grab a balaclava to seal the neck and head.  i ride in CT and have seen it all. the worst is the cars. nothing we can do about them though.  stay safe and happy winter riding.On Umbra on winter biking posted 1 year ago 18 Responses
