How Will You Get Through Winter?

Cyclocross tires on the Surly, Lake winter boots on the feet and layers as dictated by the weather.

Hmm, wouldn't that kind of weather have dictated armwarmers??!!

None of the poll choices worked for me. I ride the trainer all winter. Too much ice and snow and cold to ride outside once the snow flies. I can't ride my road bike again until the gravel is cleaned off the roads around the end of March. I sometimes ride my mountain bike in early spring but mostly I stick with the trainer. (And I run and swim and do yoga and weight training at home.)

What a great picture!

Now that made me want to add a Surly to the stable. I was just reading Peter White's cycle about how the studded tires won't fit on standard road bikes (too wide). Umm, I would have vote +1 on some arm wear though.

In response to Jenerators picture...Armwarmers???? Heck, I was thinking jacket!!! Looks like fun to me, but I would have to be dressed alot warmer.
I ride if the roads are dry and 100% sure there is no black ice that could potentially be hazardous. Other than that, if there's snow, I do outside activities. If there's no snow and just plain cold. I have a treadmill and an elliptical in a little cubby of the house that entertains me.

I bike in rain, in wind, in hail and have once raced as snow fell (but it didn't settle)

I HATE the indoor trainer, and I LOVE being on the road

Fortunately, I live in a relatively mild climate

I enjoy buying lots of winter gear

Bawahaaa...

I almost had a wetting accident on that one. I was afraid if I didn't click buy on a regular basis someone at TE cutomer service might think I died.
