Enjoy Spring!

Why do you need to wait until Spring, the bikes don't shrink and work fine in the winter 8)

Lol, where do you live, its not -5 all the time in the UK for the whole of Winter, once it rains the salt washes off the roads. I generally don't ride if the temp is below 1 deg, but have never had issue with salt, just keep the bike clean.

Re: Can't wait till spring ????
Out for a ride today got caught in some snow around Haslingden North Of Manchester. So stopped for a hot Chock at Mac Ds until it stopped snowing so hard.
First time I have changed the mode from dynamic since about a week after buying the bike.

+2 on winter riding. Yes, more frequent rinsing off of the crud required, but the sheer pleasure of riding on a crisp winter’s day (admittedly with heated grips & seat on full +wearing the thermal clobber), but yes, well worth it!MacJ wrote: +1
Bit of a pain washing it off in the cold but worth it.
Re: Can't wait till spring ????
As a back to biker who bought in November I know no other riding environment than winter. I won't go out if there is any chance of black ice. Should have been doing IAM Observe #3 today but snow put the dampers on that. Very frustrating, just when I thought I had it sorted :-\

Re: Can't wait till spring ????
The group I'm with don't generally have observed rides between mid November and Beginning of March. Weather is too unpredictable, and the risks are greatly increased.
