It is near zero with ice and snow in NW Arkansas. See the pic that is hopefully attached. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

For me, "too cold" is any temp where I'm constantly thinking about how cold I am. It takes the pleasure out of the ride, and therefore not worth it. I hate getting home feeling frozen. That would usually be in the 40's or so. If it's below 50 I usually don't bother. I rode a bike for my sole transportation years back, and the memory/thought of the freezing mornings and evenings makes me cringe. Ryan Newman Robert Waters wrote:

40's?? That still GREAT riding time. Being from Michigan you know, there is no inappropriate weather, just Inappropriate GEAR. BUT! 32 is usually my limit, when there IS A CHANCE FOR ICE. Some I know say the roads are "dry", I respond EXCEPT for where the snow/ice melted and ran into your path and refrozeOR SOMEONE TOSSED A DRINK OUT........ICE SPOT. I when down at 75mph in San Diego CA. when I HIT BLACK ICE passing under a bridge on the freeway. (1982?+-) Besides that its DRESS WARM, I have the heated coat liner & gloves, but WOOL helps alot. PS. It's 19dig today, and GETTING COLDER, I'M STAYING INSIDE!!! THE NEXT FEW DAYS/WEEK?. (YA WHIPY I KNOW)

Twas  9 this morning. Sun is out now...temp is up to 7.  I won t be going for a ride today, but have snowmobiled at 30 years ago and even did some mountain top radio work at 45 (all a long time ago when younger and hardier).

I am draining my tank today and removing battery. Last month I rode quite a bit but it was unusually warm, high 20's at night  high 4o's during the day. I commute 32 miles and find below 32* it is difficult to keep my helmet clear, also in WY, we use ground gravel course dirt substance instead of salt and that's what bothers me. It gathers in the corners and other areas on the road way and is a hazard in turns. I ride my bike as main transportation when I am riding but now it is going away till end of March. I don't need to prove anything to anybody about riding when the weather is unfit and dangerous.  I get made fun of for as much as I ride by non-riders and usually get caught in a snowstorm or two every year as it is. Then we have the riders who try to get their bikes out and ride each month, so they can brag about how they ride year round. Yet it is only a bar run on a pretty afternoon. During the summer the same rider will not ride cause it is windy or just a good chance of rain. If you enjoy riding  that's great but do it to enjoy not show how tough or great ya are.

Here in Texas, we ride all year.....er.....except weekends like this very occasionally. 3 inches of sleet and ice beverages getting above 26 degrees the last couple of days. I have ridden dirt bikes in stuff like this in my younger days...alone and dumb. Nobody got hurt (heh). I attempted to ride a motocross once in freezing rain. Two laps.... Me and the bike were covered in a sheet of ice. I rode with friends in June in the Sturgis area once and k ow what you mean about the gravel on roads. August is when I don't like to ride here....or in Tornado season with hail storms. Criswell Sent from my iPhone

Was out yesterday at 26 F and had a pleasant ride on the KLR. My ST1100 would have made it even better because of better wind and don't have electrics as yet on the KLR. Ice is always on my mind!   Only part which was cold was under my chin but put a glove into the opening under the helmet periodically so that was OK. Could have stopped and donned a balaclava.   Ryan's mention of having been forced to ride under those conditions brought to mind some similar references in my own life which have made what might be a novelty into a repeat of a bad experience. Been there, done that, had enough is nearly impossible to counteract. Better to do something fun than to repeat something which is not.   Here's one which almost makes a cold day's ride worth the effort on its own: Why is it that so many people absolutely insist that one must be cold?   They have formed an unshakable preconception and even denial by the person most likely to be informed makes no impression on their faith in their preconception. I've played around with this phenomenon for almost 50 years and still have not found a way to break through the "bubble" of preconception without metaphorically slapping then along side the head.   Asking them if they are claiming that I am lying about feeling cold brings them to a halt and then into denial but further discussion indicates that they have simply compartmentalized the two pieces of data: 1) I must be cold. 2) Their unwillingness because of social convention to openly label me a liar and so to move into confrontation.   These experiences make the ride worth while even were the ride itself not fun. It forces me back into recognizing how irrational we all are at times and just how irrational are most people all the time.   Sorry if this is off topic,   Norm     PRIVACY PROTECTION If you plan to forward this, please remove all e-mail addresses.

The older I get, the less I like having to ride in cold weather. Like under 60 F.  But, I have done 500+  miles days and never seen the temp get above 30F.  Last time was about 3 years ago I think. LOL!

It might surprise people but here in the Colorado Front Range we ride all year long. OK .I'll amend that somewhat: You can ride, at some point, in any given month but not any particular week like this one. Since I began riding here in the early 90s, there hasn't been one December, January or February that I haven't been on the road at least once; I do have electric clothing. Most days are clear and the sun is powerful at the 6 to 9 thousand feet altitudes I travel in. All of my  favorite off-pavement roads  are not ridable till summer, however. Even in Springtime they're snow packed. Bogdan, who also rides his bicycle every day unless it's slick like now From: "roncriswell2@..."

I have ridden dirt bikes in stuff like this in my younger days...alone and dumb. Nobody got hurt (heh). I attempted to ride a motocross once in freezing rain. Two laps.... Me and the bike were covered in a sheet of ice. I rode with friends in June in the Sturgis area once and k ow what you mean about the gravel on roads. August is when I don't like to ride here....or in Tornado season with hail storms. Criswell Sent from my iPhone

It gathers in the corners and other areas on the road way and is a hazard in turns. I ride my bike as main transportation when I am riding but now it is going away till end of March. I don't need to prove anything to anybody about riding when the weather is unfit and dangerous.  I get made fun of for as much as I ride by non-riders and usually get caught in a snowstorm or two every year as it is. Then we have the riders who try to get their bikes out and ride each month, so they can brag about how they ride year round. Yet it is only a bar run on a pretty afternoon. During the summer the same rider will not ride cause it is windy or just a good chance of rain. If you enjoy riding  that's great but do it to enjoy not show how tough or great ya are.
