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!

No snow yet in my area, but I'm still out here commuting in the damp and the dark. It'll be much prettier once we get some white on the ground.

Yup. While 90% of my winter rides are purely for utility (i.e. errands), neither snow nor the cold has stopped me.

Studded Schwalbe Winter Plus tires, pogies, layering clothes properly, winter shoes, and good face protection, and I'm good!
