i would prolly take it out and zip down the road at aroudn 50 degrees, but even that sucks cuz the road might have some bullshit water/dirt/sand/sticks who knows, even ice ? i dont know… so even with that weather i dont feel like i could warm up the tires enough to really feel comfortable to rip it around but i would prolly go down to wally world and back if it was 50 ish and totally dry roads ---

If you cant avoid potholes on a bike, you shouldn’t be riding, lol I’ve never hit one on my bike, theres plenty of room to get around them. ---

I don’t but not cause I’m afraid of the cold weather itself…just because frozen ground + bike tires = no grip and I’m good on that, especially cuz a friend of mine from Rochester just wrecked the other day when he was out riding b/c of the cold ground and he ended up with a concussion and broken femur which he had to have surgery on, thankfully he is ok. I can survive not riding for a few months until it warms up! Although I get real anxious to ride when we get to March. ---
