I'm going to make this winter my b*tch. If you go and ride in 0ºF weather, I'll be riding without gloves. In fact, I reach an 11 on the Mohs Scale.

I dunno about riding in 0º weather, but I'll be riding a lot this season. I'm still having fun, why would I quit now?

Winter is going to make me it's *****. er i mean I won't let it bother me!
Had a 3 hour session at Rays tonight. Realized how lucky we are to have such a nice place to play at when Winter tries to get us down.
an 11 huh? and here I thought Diamonds were the hardest stuff on earth. Your off the f'n scale bro. That's pretty hard.
No seriously tho, I've got some balls, but 0F w/o gloves. One questions bravery vs stupidity. Ever experience frost bite? It hurts a lot worse than the cold. I'll be biking this winter, but dang....

Sure,sure,tough guy.
I have not seen you riding around since the temp dropped below 50f.
Best if the youngsters stay safe indoors till the weather warms up.:thumb:

You probably haven't seen me because you're not riding.

Riding in winter is easy.
Doing it with no gloves is dumb.
Any questions?
I will ride but I have lived in .ichigan long. Enough to know to dress for it and that includes gloves. I ride for fun then excersise not a must do commuter so if it above 30 I will ride my fixed gear some this winter. But most a my riding a be on a bike @ the gym did 25 miles there today sat in the sauna and hot tub and did some upper body stuf in were it is warm no use getting cold when I don't have to :)
