How Will You Get Through Winter?

[Miranda]

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

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.

The picture was from last Christmas day. It wasn't that cold (right around freezing) and I wasn't out all that long. I did get a pair of arm warmers out of it though - a friend saw the picture and sent me a pair. For most of my other fall & winter riding, I do heed my mother's advice and put on a jacket.

I love it! My AM commutes for the last couple of weeks have been in the mid 20 degrees. Last Saturday it warmed up to the mid thirties and it felt down right balmy. I made a comment at work about how warm it was and got a lot of "you're crazy" looks. bikerHen
