Winter Riding Fixed or Single Speed
I have been looking through the winter bike pictures and notice that a lot of people are riding either fixed or single speed.
One of my winter rides is a Kona Paddy Wagon. This is one smooth bike. even after riding my carbon road bike I look forward to riding this bike. (Winter or summer)
Living in an area where 0% grade is on the Garmin very often I was wondering what gear everyone rides in the snow.
42X16 is great on the flats but it is anything over 4% grade can make for a tough climb or decent.
Snow, extra clothing and cold seems to maek the ride just that much harder.
These are supposed to be base miles not training and I am not thinking about a 20 tooth cog or maybe a smaller chainring.
Let me know what gear you are riding and what terrain you are riding this gear in.
Thanks.
