Cold!? Cold is when you ride and when you come to a traffic light stop you have to stop breathing or your full face helmet visor gets iced up on the inside. :D

Yes, that's a true story of riding in Calgary, Alberta when it's freezing (below zero) out.

On a recent note, I was riding at +5°C here in London last week. :D

Simple: 1) buy airplane ticket from Vancouver to Philadelphia, 2) Tell me when your flight is, I'll come pick you up at Philly International, 3) When we get to my house, take a chair and sit on the back deck. You can enjoy the cold snap all you want right out there! (I'll be in the house keeping warm, watching you enjoy the cold snap through the back window!!) :mrgreen:

You are all most welcome to come to London, England to ride. :D

It really doesn't rain as much as you think... I think Vancouver has more rain in a year and London does... some neat Fog though at times. :D

Two degrees F in the parking lot at work 8:30 am this morning. That's two, as in one-two. Fahrenheit, not Celsius. Not impressive by Michigan or Minnesota standards, but pretty darn cold for New Jersey.

It was 35 below zero (Fahrenheit, not Celsius) in Saranac Lake, NY, this morning. Y'all West Coasters pining for cold air need to head east.... :mrgreen:

I was in Calgary two weeks ago and it was -22° (celsius) and ≈ which meant it was more like -30° but hey, who's counting. I thought I was going to hate it but I didn't. It was refreshing!

Bah Humbug, you guys know nothing. Here it can go from 40C plus during the day to Minus 10 below at night. This is why our Bushman wear little stick kilts, otherwise there would be no little bushman left.
