Why do you need to wait until Spring, the bikes don't shrink and work fine in the winter  8)

Lol, where do you live, its not -5 all the time in the UK for the whole of Winter, once it rains the salt washes off the roads. I generally don't ride if the temp is below 1 deg, but have never had issue with salt, just keep the bike clean.

Bit of a pain washing it off in the cold but worth it.

Out for a ride today  got caught in some snow  around Haslingden North Of Manchester.  So stopped for a hot Chock at Mac Ds  until it stopped snowing so hard. 


First time I have changed the mode from dynamic since about a week after buying the bike.

+2 on winter riding. Yes, more frequent rinsing off of the crud required, but the sheer pleasure of riding on a crisp winter’s day (admittedly with heated grips & seat on full +wearing the thermal clobber), but yes, well worth it! :)

As a back to biker who bought in November I know no other riding environment than winter. I won't go out if there is any chance of black ice. Should have been doing IAM Observe #3 today but snow put the dampers on that. Very frustrating, just when I thought I had it sorted  :-\

The group I'm with don't generally have observed rides between mid November and Beginning  of March.  Weather is too unpredictable, and the risks are greatly increased.
