Since I work from home and don't have a commute, it's tough to justify buying a new bike just to attempt to get 30km a day in. Especially in this weather. The trainer is getting a lot of use and I'm trying to mix up the rides by doing some races on Zwift to go along with structured workouts and group rides.

My only thought on frostbike is that it does take some special care and attention to ride properly on snow and ice. Knowing what the conditions are like and the level of difficulty is important. For example, if there's a tonne of loose pack, it's nearly impossible to ride through no matter what kind of bike you have.
I ride a cheap Diadora mountain bike I bought with a donation to Jumpstart what was one of our demo bikes.
