Low temp,cold as h*** in the winter. =).....
You bet it can be !...but it's a DRY M****R of a cold...(lol)
TCP, the grease issue is minor really,it's more like
tweeking your rig here and there because it helps and it's fun to do.
If this is your first time winter commuting then the issues of
keeping yourself warm,not freezing your lungs,not overdressing,protecting your eyes,
adjusting your style of riding to the conditions etc. etc. etc.... should be foremost.
This forum is in my opinion THE BEST source and I know the guys and gals here are
always willing to help !!!
(BTW my record ride ...-48c.....)
Take care!!
