How cold before you stop riding

It is 7 degrees outside here in Chicago ... Way too cold for me to ride. I was curious how cold it has to be before you stop riding?

The worest part is if by chance some day it's riding temp. we have them stored already.
It's not a ride it's a journey.

We dont get real cold in the south so we pretty much can ride all year long.
You guys do get real cold here ,go figure , lol, i mean really 7 degrees!!
I do miss the sound of bikes tho, something you dont hear much of here in the winter !! But spring is around the corner,, or so they say ! i will be back home soon, probably end of march , it will be warming up nice, my bike will be repainted by then, and we will definitely have no snow !! Can hardly wait !!!; ▶ Reply to This
