Is it even at all possible to ride in the winter in the areas i live in...i know it wont be as fun as riding in the nice warm sun...but still.
Also, any good clubs to help me get into cycling. I know myself and I will stick with it longer if there is a social aspect to things.
Anyway..just thought I would say hello.
I live in Lebanon, just north of Lancaster, and I've ridden through the last two winters. I find as long as I keep moving I don't have too much trouble staying warm, but if I ever get a flat I will probably die of exposure. (Either that or I'll learn to ride a bike with a flat tire.)
One of the advantages of riding in farm country is that most of the roads are out in the open and even after a snowfall the roads clear up with the first rays of sunshine.
