Eh personally I've ridden my Volusia on ice... Not my first choice by a long shot, but the bike and I both survived intact, plus there was less wear and tear on my tires!AlphaZed wrote:Me, conversely, if I see reports of 32 or less degree weather, black ice, snow, mud slides and etc, I'll ride somewhere else. But I suppose that makes me a "cigarette" as well?!
Cold weather isn't that much of a bother to me either, insulate and layer, then watch the road diligently.
Haven't done mud, but dirt and sand aren't too bad either...
And we all love ya Shane-O!
Where'd ya travel to?
As for riding a bicycle on snow, now that's something everybody should experience at least once in their lives! w00t!
We used to recreate it by taking a plastic gallon milk jug, flattening it out, then getting up to max speed on our bicycles and locking up our rear tires when it was on the jug. My personal record was a 720 degree rotation!
Still stands in my neighborhood to this day!Now as for the 4 lane roads and such, you couldn't ride to anywhere in any larger town I've ever lived in if you weren't willing to get onto the main drags. Colorado Springs has way too many twists and turns in it's roads, and Phoenix is completely made up of 3 lanes in each direction busy roads with highways and interstates going through town too!
