It's Cold but I'm Still Riding
I think it was almost zero degrees this morning, finally hitting freezing. It's already warming up.
We are waiting on a shipment of parts at work so I'm working half days for a couple days. I'm really just fine with that. I get to go in an hour later, at 10. I should get out at 2 unless those parts arrive.
I stopped at Breadhive for a bagel and coffee. I tried to get friends to meet me here but I guess it's too early for them. I love this place but I was coming here almost every day for awhile and that was making me not enjoy it as much. maybe once a week is better.
Anyway, I plan to keep cycling through winter. I won't have any great routes to post on Strava as these will be shorter trips. My ride to work is only 3 km but I'll try to hot some cool stops on the way home for winter biking photos to post on here.

I believe it’s hard to ride cycle during winter. Specially, when the temperature is quite low. Though I don’t have this type of experience. In my country during winter the temperature doesn’t fall below 8-10 degrees. However, hope you enjoyed the coffee. Have a nice time and happy riding:-)
In February it can get down to -12 to -17. I can ride short distances down to about -7 before it starts to get too cold for me.
Yeah!! Regardless of the weather you should always ride man (coming from a dutchy with a bike as main transporation hahahaha)
I will only not ride when it is snowing hehehhe...keep those riding pictures coming!
I have snow tires. However, I can't ride if the snow is so heavy that the cars can barely drive on the street . I can take the cold down to about -7. A common saying in my city is "it's Buffalo, it snows, deal with it."
The man has biking snow tires...whutttt!!!
That would be something to consider if I was living higher up in the hills for sure
Some people get bigger knobby tires. Some ride fat bikes in winter. I bought tires with metal studs.
