Do you fall down a lot? Do your fingers and toes go numb in the cold? Did your eyes freeze shut last night? Do you think people that ride bicycles in the winter are crazy? Did you know that the average daily temperature in January 2009 was -10.5C, and that the average daily high in February 2009 was -4.1C?
Come talk with us about how we do it. While you’re at it, put some wicked studs in your tire. It took me ~45 minutes the first time I made one (and I’m awful with a drill), and I enjoyed it so much that I studded 4 more tires, and I’d do it again sooner than repack my bottom bracket. Didn’t even get dirty.
