Winter/Cold riding isn't insane, just fun.
It's 7 degrees outside right now with 15mph winds and the snow is so frozen that it feels like rock.
The bike path in unplowed and I get off at 6 in the morning... and I can't wait!
just visit us "insabe" folks down at the bottom in the "Winter Cycling" area any time you have a question. And welcome to the boards.
