I decided I might make my firstpost. Unsure of what to say but anyway. Interesting website. Will visit in a while to see what else youd like to tell me.

Wool sure comes in handy. Getting some snow experience this year, my job has kept me in central Ohio, wondering if I need to splurge on some studs...we shall see.

Then wet starts to look good. Cold is easier than wet until it snows around here. Then wet starts to look good.

It's hit my confidence badly, and as my commute is in the dark, morning and evening, I admit I'm scared of hitting some more ice. I hope the weather warms up so that I can get back to it, I've been advised to get studded tyres, but it's an expensive option for what should only be a short period. So I'm missing my riding, and already feeling fat and lazy. I’d like to say I prefer cold to wet, but currently I’m hiding, after a bad fall on some ice.

At least the cold doesn't get inside your clothes as wet weather does. It's staying cold and icy here and will do so for another month at least. No studded tyres are needed because the cycle paths are kept ice free, so life goes on as normal and falls are rare. I've not slipped even slightly on ice. Everyone keeps cycling here, young and old. When the children start back at school they'll all be leaving at 8 am in the dark wrapped up warm on their bikes to deal with the temperature being below freezing point.
