Twitter: Do You Ride In Below Freezing Temps?

December 3, 2008 12:35 pm

So I was sitting there starring at my Twitter account (MTBby198) when the question came into my head…

MTBby198 How many of you guys ride in below freezing temps?

Here are some of the responses that I have received so far…

ITGuy @MTBby198 Unless I’m riding with friends I generally avoid riding in sub-freezing temps.

crujones @MTBby198 I do. HellTrack is fun when the Cliffhanger gets a little frost on it. =D

cjeight @MTBby198 Okla below freezing tends to b brutal.

cmadrigal @MTBby198 I do, although not too far below freezing…

chwilliams chwilliams @MTBby198 if it’s below freezing I’m usually on a snowboard, that or fishing for steelhead

Thelonius71 Thelonius71 @MTBby198 the temp doesn’t really sway me either way I’ll ride whenever I get a chance. If I had Millhouse’s free time I might be more picky

probikewrench @MTBby198 On the road, only to 25F. From past experience, ice in beards (and on roads), and slurring speech below that mark.

sdreiske @MTBby198 I have only ridden below freezing a few times before. I might end up doing some super cold night rides this winter.

chaddb @MTBby198 I’m currently gearing up for my first season of night and/or cold weather riding

athletetraining @mtbby198 if it drops to freezing I’ll try riding it. First winter riding so will be interesting

arsbars @MTBby198 I do!

pingram3541 pingram3541 @MTBby198 I suppose I’d give it a go. Have hiked & climbed at below 0 temps but not biked.At what temp do you start q’ing the bike?
