gravity just upgraded m gt mtb to a fat tire bike yesterday. for winter commute, it is a great deal on a decent bike with good hardware. I just could not afford twice the cash on a local bike. I have 2 other commuters I ride in warm weather. stoked.

anyone biking to work this winter, share your commute, length, anything regarding winter riding.
for me this winter has been the coldest. i have upped my gear to good breathable layers, new boots, and face gear.
i tried goggles, and glasses, but they just fogged up.
i had even double lens goggles, but my commute of 5 miles one way, up over a steep climb, just generated too much heat.
i have missed 2 days due to ice.
i do not use studs, but a good pair of mtb tires for snow.
i have a cygo light on the front. this is a great light for around 100$.
it holds a charge for about a week.
riding now is a bonus as when spring comes and the lightweight bikes come out, you are in shape and ready to fly.
i bought a used gt mountain bike a few years back for winter riding.
ride on.

hey bruce, wife and I were up at copper harbor mich, this past aug. and rented 29ers from the local shop and rode out 7 miles to the lake and back. 3/4 of the way we were on unimproved forest roads. it was awesome. we got 2 fatbikes from bikes direct a couple weeks ago. half off list, good quality hardware for what we do. having a blast with them. hope your knee healing goes' well.

While I do not commute, I do like to ride year round. Right now it is difficult because of the cold, ice, and weather we are having here in Arkansas. Other than riding the trainer I have done several 29er rides of 12-20 miles and road bike up 38 miles. I am waiting for warmer weather to get some hours and miles on the road bike!

Just had another knee replacement done, but had some fun riding my KHS Zaca 29er back earlier in the fall! Looking forward to when I can get out and on it or the road bike either one when I am healed up good! Keep riding and enjoying the weather!
