Winter commuters?
« on: January 10, 2011, 10:06:40 am »
After many years of wussing out I've bit the bullet and will be begin bike commuting.  I believe I'm pretty dialed in for winter but 80% of my plans will probably fall apart the first few days I ride to work.

If any of you have any insight or tips I'm all ears.  The bike I picked up is a Fire Mountain http://www.konaworld.com/bike.cfm?content=fire_mountain and I've set it up with Ice Spikers, some fenders and flat pedals.

Clothing's going to be a moving target but at least my lights are solid (HID main with AA back up on the bar).

1 day down, a bunch more to go.

My plannig worked well and apart from a few tiny bugs my first winter commute went great.  I should have been doing this years ago.
