What are some good things about winter? - Page 2

KJohnson21 · October 18th, 2010, 01:33 PM

The temperatures come down to a comfortable level and I don't have to worry so much about my hydration.

ally99 · October 19th, 2011, 05:36 PM

With the frigid, dark mornings ahead keeping me from riding Lil Ninj to work, I'm already dreading winter. What are some things you like about winter?

Heed · October 19th, 2011, 08:32 PM

I really don't know. Winter is so depressing for some reason. I hate freezing my nuts off, I hate how everything is all wet and sh*tty. I hate how my hands get dryer than sandpaper.

Everything moves slower in the cold. Everythings mellow.

the only pros for me are not having allergies and not having to sweat. I remember last season, when summer came around, I was sweating like a pig and didn't know wtf was going on but eventually realized i was just adjusting.

I hate winter food too. All there is to eat is soup and prepared crap.

I guess Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners are good too. Having a warm apple pie in a warm house on a well lit table makes me solitude.

Sleeves!

Heed · October 20th, 2011, 10:25 AM

Kerberos · October 20th, 2011, 10:51 AM

As long as there is no ice or moisture on the roads and its just a dry cold. I will ride my bike. 38 degrees the other day. Hands were cold but my ninja keeps my a** warm lol. once it gets wet tho...another story

blink · October 21st, 2011, 11:33 AM

Those things are beast.

I got a jeep because here our winters (maybe yours have as much) have a **** load of snow...like 1 meter overnight is no surprise. So getting around in a civic 3 inches off the ground wasnt easy =p

WhiteRice · October 21st, 2011, 11:46 AM

Hunting Season

Cedilla · October 26th, 2011, 07:38 AM

Alabama summers make me miserable. I look forward to winter every year. It gets so hot in the summer, I could just imagine if people would start exploding like popcorn kernels.

If fact the only thing I dislike about winter is that it gets dark earlier, and we go off daylight savings time, which only makes it worse.

akima · October 26th, 2011, 08:22 AM

Snow makes artificial landscapes look beautiful - like nature has stolen it back!

I like the cosy feeling of going into a warm home and having a hot coffee after being out in the cold.

Crackly fire places!

I planned to store it, but it's just too expensive and tedious. Instead, I will be spraying the metal parts of my bike with ACF 50 and will also be riding it once a week. My poor baby will have to live out in the cold for the rest of the time

That it is going to eliminated by global warming and large tracts of what is currently permafrost in Canada and Siberia can be turned over to agriculture

ally99 · September 14th, 2014, 03:51 PM

Read the Farmers Almanac.
We are in for a brutally cold winter...I wonder how long my "bike-only" endeavor will last.

As long as you want, you just need some nice and warm gear.

I kept my cold gear from the ninjette.

ally99 · September 14th, 2014, 04:31 PM

My car is having issues suddenly, dammit, so yeah, even with rain in the forecast, I'm riding everyday this week to work and back!

Thursday I get graphics on my bike.

Awwwwwww yeah. lol

I almost got a little scooter to mess around with. My wife talked me out of it. I wish I got it, but another part of me is glad I didn't.

I'll get back on two wheels soon enough.

snot · September 14th, 2014, 05:37 PM

Only good thing about winter is it kills the bugs.

NevadaWolf · September 14th, 2014, 05:43 PM

"Winter" and "good" do not belong in the same sentence unless followed by "Bye".

Nothing is good about cold temps and short days.

However, while I hate snow, I hope we get some this winter. Can't keep this draught going.

Sirref · September 14th, 2014, 11:25 PM

Link to original page on YouTube.

snowboarding is the second best part about winter
I have a really good tolerance to cold so I'm typically good to go regardless
I'll be riding through the winter excluding when there's a high risk of black ice, I have a truck w/4x4 for that

LittleRedNinjette · September 15th, 2014, 06:54 AM

lots of days off paid from work.

And i do love how beautiful it gets at Christmas.

Rifleman · September 15th, 2014, 01:15 PM

Deer hunting
Christmas
End of lawn mowing for a bit
Serious work on the bike.

However it is the end of the grilling season

Finesse · September 15th, 2014, 01:21 PM

there is absolutely nothing good about winter and I hate every freaking second of it

allanoue · September 15th, 2014, 01:41 PM
