    This will be my first winter riding a bike. Other morning was like 48 degrees, and with jacket doing like 75 or 80 on interstate not too bad with windbreaker. My legs and hands got a little cold, so going to get me some winter gear this weekend. Hoping to ride it almost year round here in NC.

    Oh it's a 45 min commute from work to home.
    Year round riding ain't to bad here in the carolinas. You just got to keep the wind from getting to you. The only issue i have in the winter is with my hands. I cant stand the bulky insulated gloves.

    And to answer the original question, I ride year round

                Year round. As long as no snow or ice ill ride. Not as much enjoyable being bundled up but love riding and saving gas as much as possible. Ride on....

                  Ride on aye! I've had serious pain after some cold weather jaunts but ain't put off even after riding since childhood. Good gear/kit is a help and nice but even if you ain't got the best, at least it keeps you in touch with nature! Stop,hold exh.aust and then direct into your clothing

                      my coldest commute here inn north ga so far was a balmy 48 degrees the other day .i was getting cold by the time i got to work . my trip is only 18 miles,,,,,,,,,i would like to think i can ride on into the fall . but im thinking about 45 degrees being my lowest acceptable temp for the morning ride.
                      im an american proud and free , a son of the south dont tread on me.

                        We regularly see wind chills in the -20 f area. Snow can be a problem as it won't burn off for weeks. Winters are reasonably dry, though. If it stays dry, I see daytime riding as a possibility at least prbably through Nov. I bought some insulated coveralls and snowpants and a down lined parka, so I plan to ride as long as possible. My cage gets about 17mpg on highway.
