[Dennis D'Angelo]

I bike about 12 miles round trip to work per day. Have an urban bike built here locally in Germany and a very inexpensive mountain bike...which I am converting to a single speed. I use the urban bike year round and keep it in good functioning order by washing and lubing weekly--I wax it monthly.

As for weather; "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes."

I wear the predecessor to the North Face Halo Jacket...had it for 5 years of biking and still going strong. I carry wet gear in my backpack and wear high-top water repellant hiking books. I have a multitude of gloves for each season...hate cold hands...and a Jack Wolfskin ski cap for my bald cranium.

With the above combination I am good to -10F and all the snow you can throw at me...yes, I do take a fall or two when riding on snow or ice even with studded tires.

Enough talk...go ride.
