My thoughts and attitude towards winter cycling

[Ilovehills]

I hate what the winter weather does to my road bikes, and I don`t feel safe on them either when there`s ice about or I`m fighting my way through 5" of standing water. I`ve always used a basic mtb during the depths of winter, and then as it starts to brighten up go back to the drops.

Just my routine, and 2p

Exactly what I'll be doing once the Trek is done.
Except my roadie is a flat-bar also..

Cheap mountain bike.

In principle I'm all for winter cycling. But there's a gap between my intentions and reality.
