Do you or would you ride a bike in the winter? I mean if you get snow where you live? I don't and I never will. It seems very dangerous to me due to often slippery conditions for both the rider and vehicles. It just wasn't done when I was growing up. π€·ββοΈ
shareI'm Dutch, so yeah, all the time.
shareWell, you're not dealing with hills much, right? But even then, snow, slush, ice, etc. makes in treacherous, I think. Or do you have snow tires on your bike? Studded tires? Or just regular ones?
shareRegular tires. I don't like riding through snow, my sister made a nasty fall not too long ago and dislocated her finger. You always have to be careful.
shareI haven't ridden a bike in years. When I was a kid, I rode in the winter all the time. We would ride on snow embankments and do jumps off of them. No one wore a helmet in those days either.
shareI do ride occasionally. I still have the Schwinn bike I got in sixth grade. And yes, I grew up in pre-helmet days. Heck, even my kids were riding when helmets just started being the new safety standard. We never even thought of riding bikes in the snow and I don't know anyone who did back in the "olden days."
