Some of you guys have a lot more guts than I. I walk at night after work (a little more than 5 miles a day) and cross two main roads along my, "path". There's a significant glaze on the asphalt - a micro layer of ice that's very slick. I wouldn't dare try it on a bike.

Ok so it's 25 degrees out right now and I haven't got to ride my wg sense I got it back after having the stage one done. It's been killing me so I suited up and rode 2 miles and came back home lol. I don't know how some of you ride in this ****. I will say even though my face was frozen there was still a smile I couldn't get rid of haha

A full face helmet makes a huge difference!

I'm sure it does. Might have to get one. I don't wear a helmet at all in Illinois. Today I just had a sock hat and glasses on my face. No windshield ether

I wear Carhartt flannel lined jeans, long sleeve T shirt, Schampa fleece, leather jacket, balaclava, Bell full face helmet, Gerbings T5 heated gloves. That combination keeps me warm for a good hour or more.
