Have you ever noticed when it is a 50 dereeday in winter , ya take the bike out , and ride to work , and people think your a nut .
Some folks ask "are you riding just to say you rode in feb. " and
the people that ride snowmobiles when it below 0 degree give you a strange look and ask " is this a cry for help?" . But the next day you a couple more bikes roaming around, and some dumbass in shorts and sandles .
Just wondering if it is just me or if other people get the same reaction .

When I lived in the frozen tundra of MN we had a small group that would go for a ride on Jan 1st downtown for lunch. Were we nuts….. Did we get some strange looks, you bet but the folks down at Bobs Java Hut loved it. I know you don’t have much snow to speak of this winter and with a 50 degree day I would hit the parkway around the lakes to see how many ladies were out. I do miss something’s from MN for sure.

hell you should see what they do here in pitssburgh when im out riding in 5 degree waether and they see me every day all winter ...the local cops just shake thier heads and giuve me the thumbs up

The slackjawed yokel look from the SUV drivers just adds to the fun of winter riding, especially when it is below freezing. I don't commute yet on a bike, but I'll ride in the evenings if it's above twenty F.
