Post your winter bike pics.

[Jawbone]

I have a Giant Farrago with "Clydesdale-friendly" indestructible rims that my local lbs put together for me. ARC lithium headlight and rechargeable 9v geek strobe light off the back. This is my year round commuter, so in the winter, I put studded nokian tires on it. Heavy as all get out, but gets me where I need to go.

I introduced my son to winter riding on the weekend. Here he is with his old mountain bike after a tour through the neighbourhood.
All good!

Here is me and my "MagicCarpet" with home made studded tires on a frozen pond vacated by hockey players!
The traction was amazing no slippage whatsoever able to turn circles tighter than riding in the summer on normal trails.
Temperature about -12C windchill -19C as you can see my beard froze as well as my drinking tube!

My current winter bike...a 1972 Phillip's 20 folder and I can't say enough times how much a fan I am of internal gear hubs.

I use a trike for winter riding. It won't go through a ton of snow or anything, but I can ride comfortably when it is pretty darn cold out for quite a distance. mine is the not yet painted pink bike.

I'm posting my summer ride as well to demonstrate slow bike vs fast bike.

I'm almost ready for next winter... a friend is giving me a Nexus 7 speed for the longbike and with that and some knobbier tyres and studs it should be an ideal winter ride.

My friend says his xtracycle is the best winter bike he has ever ridden due to it's excellent stability and traction and I expect my DIY bike to perform similarly well.

With the current heat wave I found myself wishing for much cooler temps.

[Jakob]

i hope we will have some snow here next winter!! this picture was taken in northern finland on a cold winter bike trip. my bike is a cannondale f700 with nokian and continetal spike tyres.

Thanks... I am really liking this bike.

There's an entire thread in Utility Cycling on DIY longbikes and I have posted many pics there...

I just built up a new fixed gear for winter use too... I'll run the slicks until I need the studs.

Just picked up/finished building my Surly Cross Check. It's a hodge-podge, but I'm in love with it. Fixed gear for the winter, albatross handle bars for comfort, Brooks b68 for comfort, etc.

It's to be my winter bike for this season, although this will likely be only one of many incarnations to come. I'm worried the tires will not be enough though, and may have to splurge on a pair of studded tires. But seeing as I don't have an extra wheelset, studded tires will present problems of their own.

Oh, and I live in Boulder Colorado.

[djwright]

Here in the Seattle area it is more an issue of rain (mist/drizzle). So here is a picture of my winter bike (I am still working on the lights)
