That's my excuse to not ride in this cold

Fixed gear is a smart choice for the Calgary weather, but all my bikes are geared.
this morning wasnt actually too bad, i was a bit worried and got over prepared, ended up too warm despite the -33 wind chill ;-)

i repacked my wheels this season with cold weather grease (i think it’s supposed to work till -50) as last year i really noticed how much stickier the hubs were pass -20. On the way back tonight the hubs were getting a bit slow and pedaling was certainly more work than usual but still moving.
