I ride through the winter, and last year I converted an old mountain bike to my winter bike. As others have said, it was nice to go for a ride on my summer bike on Friday. A few more tips:
- I have a
balaclava hoodie that I swear by. Occasionally you will find one at the outlet store- I think I only paid around $50 for mine.
- I use my ski helmet for most of the winter. It is warmer and also fits my ski goggles better.
- I use regular winter boots when I ride, however this year I also bought heated socks. I'll see how those work.
