I mean obviously the tires are going to be cold, and not stick well, so lessen the speed/lean. But other than that, what do you guys think?
If it's below 50 degrees I don't ride unless it's my only form of transportation. I've got proper gear to ride when it's colder than 50 but I consider it surviving not riding. I will NOT ride if there is snow or ice on the road - that's close to suicide.
