Bike on the ground today, tomorrow on the road!
Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2024 Edition)
- Thread starter PrivatePilot
- Start date
Strangest thing I saw yesterday was a peddle bike (didn't look electric) pedalling away across the ice.

Why would you let it idle for 10 minutes? Is it an older carb bike that doesn't run right until warmed up?

Because i had to calm myself down from the excitement and then went to put my gear on LOL
You guys are having a lot warmer weather than we are here.
3 degrees this morning.
I really need to install those heated grips... Even with winter gloves on, had to stop and do the armpit thaw.

I might try for Thursday, just not enough oomph left in me when I got home from work today after sleeping like crap the last few nights. Plus it had gotten windy and kind of crappy anyways. 12 degrees on Friday.
Saw lots of bikes out today. Saw one unfortunate soul almost get into a wreck on Highway 47 east of Stouffville. Clearly a new rider on a small cruiser, relying 100% on rear brake. That almost went very badly when it locked up trying to stop quickly for a yellow/red from 80-90kph. Managed to get stopped before high siding but I puckered on behalf of the rider.

Work appointment Tuesday had me see the temps at 15C from the cage display and wanting to hustle back for a little romp.
Temp started to drop but, took the bike out for a little run along the parkway. Find the rear shock a little jouncy and might need to search for a rebuild or replacement via internet. Don’t think ratcheting the spring load will make a difference.
Looking forward to warmer weather and will likely take the bike for some work trips when the weather allows.
Too chilly for a photo op but, next time!

Got out on Sunday. Rode up some snow piles at the mall. Went to check out a seasonal shutdown on a local road. No way I was getting up that mess...
Felt good to get out, even if it was only 30km.
