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!

We've had exactly 1 frost warning this season in my area, and I'm in the upper Midwest.

This is fine.

I arrived a new immigrant to Canada is 1993, end of October. There was a blizzard and 2 feet of snow on the ground. That was my introduction to Canada. Haven't seen it snow in October in decades

It's finally starting to drop below 40/50°F degrees at night up in the Northeast. It was also almost 80°F on Halloween... We wore jackets over our costumes on Halloween when I grew up in the early 00s.

The equally troubling issue is... It's so dry... We haven't had significant rain in probably over a month at this point, fire warnings and bans all over the place.

But this is all probably fine. :(
