If that person was dedicated to racing success they would be better served doing FT intervals on the trainer this time of year.UNF_Chaz said:That right there is frigin dedication.
Fixie's are the winter bike of choice out here in Wyoming. I've got friends that swear that they're a lot easier to control on the ice but I'm not convinced. I've ridden fixies on the road and track for years but stop signs and traffic are hard enough without ice to worry about. One hard crash on black ice can wipe out a whole lot of training gains, I'm sticking to the trainer and ski skating till the roads dry out a bitsogood said:And it looked like a single speed/fixie with no brake lever, at least on the left side of the handlebar.
============================================================vio765 said:here are the factors motivating this cyclist:
1.) blew entire bike fund on bike and not enough for a trainer.
2.) loves riding in snow
3.) wants bragging rights
4.) so dedicated that the indoor trainer is only to be used when 20"+ of snow is on the road (19" is no exception)
5.) is training specifically for road racing in snow (can you detect the sarcasm? lol)
6.)lost his license, but still has the carbon bike (more sarcasm)
7.)any other reasons i cant think of...please add more if can think of any

my guess is that he is a bike messenger on a delivery run and has no choice but to be out there to earn a weeks pay.zaskar said:I guess im a wimp, i don't ride in under 50 degree weather. here is a cyclist in Colorado on Dec 28th.
