This here is my winter ride. Because I volunteer @ a community bike shop I was able to build it for $0 out of 95% post-consumer parts (my old winter bike got stolen, it too 95% post consumer). I have ridden MTN bike in the winter before but that "floating" that folks seem to find desirable I found disagreeable. I like my 38mm tires, they cut through the snow nicely. I also never use studded tires and I can still rip around on freshly Zamboni-ed river skating trails like nobodies business. Winnipeg is the coldest metropolis (city w/ a population of over 500 000) in the world. My coldest ride was at -45 C (not including wind chill).
