Mid to high 20°s.
Lakes & rivers still frozen.
15 hours of sun, now, gaining 5-1/2mins a day
Yeeouch. I wouldn't be riding until it warmed up to at least 40. Anything below that and it isn't fun anymore for me.
I tell you why I like riding in cool weather around here. The streets have less traffic, no matter car, bike, or pedestrian. Okay, the car traffic just seems less as everyone apparently calls it a day when the sun goes down, and the sun is setting earlier.
I can't imagine cycling in Alaska, Canada, or the northern US in the winter. Y'all are some hardy souls.
