Call me a wimp, but I would not purposly head out for a road bike ride when it was snowing. Now, I have been caught in a few freak snow sqaulls that have blown in all of a sudden - but that is the extent of it.

Hardcore dude. Did you invite the Marlboro dude for some Ripple wine out of a sack? Maybe a 40 of malt liquor to ease that post-crash pain.

I occasionally ride in the snow, mostly on my mountain bike. I might do more if of not for all the cleaning hassles. The trainer looks pretty tempting when I think about coming home all wet, dirty and gritty. I have to take off the offending outerwear in the garage and then get ready for some bike cleaning. If there is a lot of snow I'd rather get out the skis or snowshoes. Don't get to see many bums out at the park though.

Yes! But only on my mountain bike. Road bike for training, tri bike for racing, etc.

Now what exactly is a stationary bike for ... :)

All the time, all winter. My mountain bike with Nokian studded snow tires makes it more fun than summer riding (almost).

Where would you want to swim ?

Remember: When acid rain freezes, you get acid snow.

I won't be riding in the slush this year, though, since I wrapped my Kona around a tree last week :-(

Under the tree, Randy, UNDER the tree.



Sorry to hear that....

This is my first year riding in the snow, so far I love it. Let's see what i think by feb.

My Blue Heaven. Well done.

Yeah, I ride in the snow, sometimes. It may come as no surprise that I did it all the time when I was younger, then got away from it as I aged up. A few years ago I got back into it, hardcore, with a fixed gear, because my training partner told me I was a big ass whimp if I didn't (What's 'a matter McFly? Chicken?). I do it still, even though my training partner from then moved away. OH YEAH, he used to live in Rochester, NY, and that's where his psychosis began. His initials are DV and he uses a 60 tooth chainring on his Stowe TT bike. I miss him, nobody else here will ride outside below 30 degrees.

"Maybe you should just run faster..." TM

Thats what I love about this formum, Movie picks. This sounds like a must see.

I use the same studded tires. I even ride in the dark and snow - OK it is on snowmobile trails so pretty safe all in all. I live on a dead end road that is about 2 miles long, 1.5 miles of it is a continuous climb so I ride repeats on that in the winter in snow as well.

Isnt it a hassle sharing a set of tires with Greg? You should just buy your own

I LIKE riding when it's below freezing; no snow/ice melt running across the road to muck things up.

Yes, I have ridden in the snow a lot, but prefer to take my mountain bike. The road bike and tri bike aren't winter suitable. However, the mountain bike loves it! I have an old mountain bike that I picked up at a police auction, so I am not as meticulous about it as my other bikes. It cleans up nice and quick since it does not have all those expensive bells and whistles on it. A great fun way to pass the winter when I can fit it in.

But, be careful of the school buses!

Nokian 296 s? They are amazing tires.
