This is for those of you who do not fear the thought of experiencing -40... the place where C and F come to meet.
It will be a balmy -18 F tomorrow and the roads have just became passable... I'm actually stoked to be able to get out and ride and will be helping film a short piece on winter cycling.
So... how was your winter commute ?
Here in Spokane, WA the weather is cooler than normal, about -14C / 7°F as of 9PM. No snow yet
so my commutes are boring.
Last winter we did have exceptional snowfalls starting ~Dec. 18th and I shot some video of one city + highway commute for the heck of it:
