I’m eating dinner and all of a sudden it really hits me that the riding season is genuinely over for me in the next few weeks.

It’s 0-2 C every morning now and the afternoon it gets up to 9-10. I just got this bike in June. The tires are probably not very good below 6.

How do y’all cope with having to put the bike up for winter? Do you pick up a winter hobby?

I hate to brag, but where I live I just switch over to my winter jacket and maybe electric gloves on a cold day. Assuming you don't want to move somewhere else, maybe you could buy an old bike and spend the winter restoring it?

How do you find the electric gloves? I thought about getting them but they’re very expensive
