Hey Joel, the winters are pretty mild where I live in Southwestern Ontario. But we had a blizzard earlier this week, everything shut down, the schools were closed for three days. I did not ride my bike during that time.
There are a lot of places in the States that have more severe winters than where I am. A lot of times during the winter here, the roads are fairly clear. Other times there is snow on them. I have a couple of short sections on my commute where I need to ride on trails, those are the tough places. One good thing about riding on snow is that it really builds up your leg strength. On the subject of flats: I never get them. In fact I am not sure if I have ever had a flat. I remember repairing a tube once when I was a lot younger, but I don’t think it went flat while I was riding. Now I use really good tires, but even when I didn’t, I never had a problem. I even toured on my bicycle at one time, using only the cheapest tires available, and had no flats. At the time I didn’t know that tires were supposed to go flat. Although I did have a number of flat tires on a Lada in Jamaica once. That was inconvenient. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
