It's the cool season, not the off season.

Winter cycling only seems crazy if you haven't tried it before. With the right gear, it can be enjoyable and very rewarding.

So let's share our experiences, and please feel free to ask questions!

Thanks, ya I looked into that. I decided to go the used peloton route instead, the price basically ended up being the same, around $600 (granted there was a stupid activation fee that peloton has), but the classes are very good. Also having my bike readily available on nicer days where I don't have to mess with putting on the tire in a limited time window of daylight after work was a big seller for me.

Riding around here for chores is a bit sketch, but I have definitely thought about it. I need to mess around with winter riding gear to figure out what works for me. I have a fair bit of winter gear, just narrowing down what works for biking in particular is going to take a bit. Tips there definitely appreciated
