I do it all the time. I live like 5 miles away from where all my friend that I ride with. And its been pretty bad out lately. 50 degress, and miserable rain for the past 2 weeks. I've got a cold from riding in this sh*t. I'll suck it up, and keep on going. I can't wait til winter though. Riding in a Nor Easter, roads slick as a b*tch, with all my friends. I love winter riding though. Ex you should try to take your cruiser out on ice and race, it's crazy. But im lucky Got me a set of Maxxis Max Daddies, I should be fine.
