Walking isn't fun like cycling is.
Winter riding for me is very similar in that I have to plan my rides rather than just hopping my bike and going out like the other warmer seasons. Last night it was 18deg, windy and lake effect snow. I only took one lap and wimped out. At the least, I keep in the cycling groove, real time.
Here is my snowbike, the ‘89 Trek Cantelope wearing the morning weather.
