no cold riding for me. it's just not enjoyable. but spring isn't too far off so i'm just gonna wait for those 50 degree days.

yeah, if you're protected from the bitter cold, you're all bound up and that's not enjoyable, come on warmer weather.

First, I wouldnt ride in fog, fuck that. Second, I dont ride in the rain. Yeah its kinda fun for a short ride, but I'm good.

And if you have good gear, your not bound up. I mean, yeah its more fun when its 60-75 outside, but personally Id rather be a little cool than sweating balls in 95 degree heat.

if it is above 45 it is fine with me,just wife beater,longsleeve shirt and sweatshirt and jacket,too ME that isnt all bundled up.i would rather ride in cooler weather cuz i hate getting off the bike dripping wit sweat.

i rode once lastweek but after someone locked up their brakes to NOT hit me and the fog crap i put the bike back up.

I rode all last year in anything dry and over 20 with no heated gear. my bike never sat unused for a whole week until this jan :/

I only ride if its above 30 this winter... I lost a lot of body fat since last winter and i cant take the cold like I used to. Its still nice to be out riding in the cold... or at least its still worth it to me

Some day I'll ride year round. For now though, I'm going to enjoy my heater!
