What is your primary reason for riding in the winter? - The Chainlink2024-03-29T00:59:54Zhttps://thechainlink.org/forum/topics/what-is-your-primary-reason?commentId=2211490%3AComment%3A139588&feed=yes&xn_auth=noI love riding all year round,…tag:thechainlink.org,2010-02-02:2211490:Comment:1522982010-02-02T06:04:56.851ZMatt Kwainhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/MattKwain
I love riding all year round, Summer spring and fall are beautiful to ride in Chicago. But winter just adds another challenge to the equation that makes it a blast. Other than the main reason I bike everyday (commuting to work/School) Biking in winter makes me feel like a bad ass. Nothing is more rewarding then racing home in sub zero temps after a long night of drinking to pass out in a semi warm bed (can't afford heat or the bus haha).

Stress!!<br />
<br />
I am a better person at work and home when i ride my bike. Winter riding adds a little more challenge. There is a big difference in my day when I take public transportation instead of riding.<br />
<br />
I am always amazed at people that think I am crazy! on the coldest days I am very comfortable on my bike. I get good stress relief plus I save money!!

lol, I don't want to be employed on a payroll taking crap from anyone. All my work related to bike culture is either donated or on a tribute basis now. That is how I roll these days ....<br />

Yes, I ride and love to ride. The winter does present a great challenge to which I want to rise. But I love to ride all the time and each season presents a kind of strange set of scenarios that are neither perfect nor negative. I just keep on and plan to continue.

I don't really think about it similar to how I don't really think about why I choose to walk, take a train, ride the bus or jump in a car. For me, it's not about proving a point (such as being "green)". It's simply a way to get around.

It would cost me $5 per day and twice as long to get to work everyday. If you get the right gear you don't freeze and the streets I ride on are generally well-plowed and overly salted.
