Be carefull.... extending your season may turn you into a year round cyclist

After my 1st Sprint and Summer of commuting I'd read about winter cyclists and figured they were all nuts. Then the fall arrived and I had no desire to stop cycling. I add good lighting front and rear, and a high-viz vest to enhance my visability. October rolled by, then November.... I was still enjoying the riding. At that point I added studded tires as we get enough potentially icy roads. I don't like the amount of extra effort the studded tires cause, but I love the comfort knowing that I won't hit the road hard because I hit a patch of black ice. As I entered into December I had to add some approriate winter cycling gear mostly the E-Vap coat from Lou at Foxwear.net, and later the power shield pants. Now I ride year round.

Enjoy the ride,
André
