Posting Winter Cycling content online is *so fun*
Posted some crazy shit that happened on my commute home in a snowstorm, and like half the comments are dudes telling me "why are you biking in this weather, "get on the sidewalk", "why are you riding in a bike lane in a snowstorm".
It's frustrating, I know it comes from a place of ignorance to riding in those conditions, but I'm out here and I know what I'm doing, I've kept myself safe on the road in all types of conditions, and snow is just another one of those conditions.
Reddit be reddit tho, so someone who's barely been outside in the snow is gonna be giving me a detailed response why I'm an idiot for enjoying myself outside in the winter lol.
Like I literally don't have a car, my bike is essentially my car, I'm coming home from work, sue me for that I guess lol.
Anyway, thanks for letting me vent lol! Love this sub!

Advice for choosing studded tires?
I'm commuting by bike for the first time and we finally have some solid snow and ice. My ride home Friday was pretty hairy on my bike's stock tires. I don't want that to stop me from biking, so I'm looking into studded tires that will fit it. While I can change a tire, I've never gone any further than buying exactly what was on there before, so I don't know how to evaluate what will fit and work well.
My bike is a Yamaha Crosscore RC, and the stock tires are 27.5" x 2". Any advice on how to choose studded tires, or on specific brands or models to check out?

Not much snow, but it's enough to make the ride work feel more fun

Nice cruise
Groomed cross country skiing trails are solid enough for riding right now. Only ridng the trails that are shared by both skiers and people walking (and me biking).

45nrth Cobrafist Bar Ends? Do they suck or am I using them wrong?
I've been having trouble with the bar ends that came with my 45 NRTH pogies. They work perfectly on one side, but on the other side they routinely slip out of the end of my grips and don't lock in place when I tighten them anymore.
Any tips or tricks would be appreciated, don't understand why these are giving my the grief they are.

Packable "emergency" jacket/layer, suggestions
I'm pretty comfortable with my layering techniques for riding in the various winter conditions I choose to ride in, but I'm considering adding an "emergency" insulation layer to my pannier/backpack/frame bag. I already usually have a spare/alternate pair of gloves and a spare/alternate balaclava... This isn't a huge stretch.
I'm curious if anyone here has done this for daily commuting or recreational winter rides (of the non-epic variety), and would love to hear opinions and though processes on the gear selections:
I'm thinking of adding a packable midweight puffer when I find one on clearance, hopefully with a hood.
Now that I've done some thinking about nightmare scenarios that might lead me to go to this puffer, I should probably add a change of socks, too.
Send me the hot takes or reasoned opinions.

What just happened?
I was just out trying the bike to the supermarket. Doing some sliding and playing around my hydraulic back-break eventually got stuck, causing the back wheel to not rotate freely.
Frustrated I dragged it back home and placed it inside. After ca 15 minutes inside it is now un-stuck and seems to be working as usual. Why is that?
I read that mineral oil and DOT fluid is often used in hydraulic bike-brakes, but doesn’t freeze until up about -30-40°C. It’s only -10°C here in Stockholm.
Any ideas what could’ve caused this and how you prevent it?
Any input is much appreciated! 😃😊

Gloves!!!
Can anyone recommend a pair of gloves that will actually keep my fingers warm? Say between 20 and 30°?

Hot soup for winter riding: A tale of too much noodle, not enough broth! Share your hot soup biking tips too.
galleryThe ratio was off and the ramen noodles essentially soaked up the remaining broth and solidified a bit like webbed jello. Also forgot a fork, Improvised a solution and slurped most of the nutritious goodness down.
