It's the cool season, not the off season.

Winter cycling only seems crazy if you haven't tried it before. With the right gear, it can be enjoyable and very rewarding.

So let's share our experiences, and please feel free to ask questions!

Since I moved out of the city I've been having trouble getting to work in the winter. So this year, I decided to give spikes a try. Gotta say, it's still not a lot of fun since the way is real horribly icy and you have to take care that your wheel doesn't slip into the deep tracks some other biker left when the snow was fresh, but not having to use the road instead is really worth it.

what happens when there is neither ice nor snow but raw concrete or on other grounds of regular conditions, does this cause problem on regular thawen ground? 🥶
