Funny story (at least I think so); my first winter-commuting season was the winter of 2011-2012, the coldest morning that winter was 5F.... I remember biking home in a T-shirt in January, it was 50F! That was not winter biking! Last winter, THAT, that right there, was winter biking. I lost count on the number of days that started below 0F; snowbank piled 10 foot and more. Ride the roads cause nobody could clear off-road paths. And
#18 above, for real, that was brutal!
I even got the
#25 question this morning??? It was 40F, felt great!
We have trees that hold onto their leaves into the first snowfall quite often.
There's a difference between arctic weather areas and a place like where i live.... we see over 100 in summer, and below zero in winter. We also have leaves, storms where it alternates between sleet and snow, the list goes on......
