No, I didn't actually. Thanks for letting me know. I really only pay attention to the LCF subforum because that's what I do, i.e. live car free. I posted a thread about winter so people for whom winter is approaching can discuss their transportation plans. I don't know how many posters here actually live car free, though. I think most are 'car-lite' and I wonder how much transportation biking they will do when the temperatures start going very low. It won't get very cold where I live so not much will change for me, besides being able to pedal a bit harder without sweating. I know some people here use studded tires on icy roads, etc. I know you and Machka live in the southern hemisphere, so your summer is approaching, not winter. Thanks for the tip on the winter forum; I may go check that out to see what kind of threads there are.
