I'm just starting this whole "winter biking thing".
I have an old steel men's standard with 26" rims.
The few times I have been out so far, it has been face-numbingly cold. That's when I realized my motorcycle helmet has a flip up/down face-shield on it..
Yep, I wore my motorcycle helmet out biking today. The worst problem was part of the road that was snowed under from continual drifting...
The bike has skinny rims with slicks - not so good in snow. However, look what I found at the thrift store today!
My master plan is to skip the steps of buying fancy/expensive bikes, and go straight to building a recumbent, which can also become electric assist or fully faired.
I really like Arcosine's setup. Looks like he's not terribly far away from me either. Maybe we could meet up sometime.
