Fixing a chain that fell off on the way to work Monday wasn't fun.
I really don't mind winter riding until we get to this point and everything stops working. I don't even want to try fix it because it's too freaking cold. I have a weekend project I guess. Any lube suggestions for something that will penetrate all of the corrosion I'm taking on and keep things working??

Do you have a bike you could convert to a single speed? If you don't have too many hills they could be a good alternative in the winter.
