I made this thread because I've been lurking and I see lots of people that are still riding outside and their areas have climates much like mine! The cold doesn't bother me but how do you guys/ladies go about riding your bikes around in the snow/slush/ice without binning it every time you hit the brakes?...

pickpocket293, enjoy riding in the bitter cold, wet, windy and slippery conditions of winter with cold hands, feet, shivering with the sweat you've generated under all those layers of clothes, and if you wear glasses unable to see from the fogging, and worrying about cars sliding haphazardly. Buzzman calls us the Order of the Bike Fanatics.
When you arrive at your destination though, you'll be able to triumphantly answer that question, "You didn't ride in today, did you?".
