A guy rides by my house every morning and even today as it was -7 F with a wind chill of -20 F.
I'm drinking my hot cocoa from inside my house. :smartass:

You guys definitely have "real" winter over there. Coldest it has been so far in "LA Winter Land" is around 43F low / 55F high.

Grrr... images from a couple of evening commutes. Which have all been in the -2C to -10C range.

Ice and snow covering the Potomac completely.

They'd have to pay me to ride before I do anything like that. :mrgreen:

Better than the subway thanks to Patagonia jacket and some warm boots.

How many miles are you commuting each way?

Beautiful roads, Basilic. Your pictures make me want to get out and ride. I spent a few days in Zurich this past autumn and took the train down to Chur and then crossed the Alps on the Bernina Express. I was amazed at the uncrowded roads and great riding in Switzerland.

thanks Vagabond. Next time rent a bike and stay for a few days in the Engadine, surrounded by nice passes (Julier, Albula, Fluela, Fuorn, Bernina, Maloja, plus all the italian passes just across the border)
