I bought an Escape 1 and brought it home March 6th. I couldn't wait and took it straight to the trail only to find 6 inches of ice on the trail. I decided to just run around the small town a little bit. I made it 1 block. It was 22° out. I froze everything in my body as I don't have cold weather gear, just the jacket I wear when going out which is fine walking but not at all appropriate riding any speed on a bike.
I had to wait 2 weeks I think before I could ride. Then waited another 3 weeks before I rode again. Haven't ridden lately or about 9 or 10 days because of weather. Hopefully I can ride this weekend.
