You don't deserve to get hit by a car (unless you fly through red lights) but literally no reason not to wear it.

>>1035115
But if you do get hit by a car, and you're not wearing a helmet, then you deserve the brain damage.

>>1035118
Yeahhh I guess

you can get by in shorts and an extra layer up top down to about 35-40F I keep the rides at that point to about an hour to 2 hours at best.

its really about layering and keeping the wind and wet out.

I used to ride to school as a kid and the lowest I went was about -10f and maybe a foot of snow but that was only 2 miles. I just stayed in the car tracks and wore all sorts of winter gear.

now when I ride in lo temps I have some shoe covers, an extra pair of socks, thermal leggings and ind breaker style pants over top. I layer my upper body too, sleeveless shirt, t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, hoody, windbreaker jacket.. all this will probably have you sweating so you might not want a hoody. I try to cover my face but my mask and scarfs blow all my breath into my glasses and then they fog so I usually give up... besides once you face freezes you dont notice it at all. I have a thermal cycling hat that covers my ears too.

I run a cx bike all winter and just go ocd on cleaning it after every use so the salts from the roads dont fuck anything up. You can actually buy studded tires if you choose but I just avoid the ice or slow down when going over it.

btw 20 degrees is pretty mellow compared to what some of peeps round here are willing to ride in... personally if its near zero I dont do it unless its a really short ride to the gym or something.. less than 5 miles

>>1034234
About all the gear I wear, but still mildly overkill as I live within 2 miles of gym/campus/job, so short rides. Was -15 with -31 wind chil this morning, and fingers were a bit chilly. If i went longer, would invest in ski goggles, but just not worth it.

With wheel well deep snow, some might accumulate on v-brakes if you riding with those (dads old 90's mtb) so breaking distance is lowered.

Honestly, the worst part of winter is that transition period, where its floating around freezing. Ice is the worst. Slush that gets walked on then freezes make these really risky ruts that can easily throw a tire. Fell a few times last winter.

I always thought "fair-weather" applied to not riding in the rain (which I don't do, fuck rain). When it's cold, but dry, all you need is to put an extra layer under and/or some jacket to seal you from the cold wind.
>Is there a special lubrication I should >use for gears?
I think I was reading some non-4chan forum posts about this, but how cold would it have to be to actually seize your cranks?
>My plastic STI shifters need any special handling?
I don't think so.
>Will my brakes for summer still be effective in the winter?
I reckon they will, but remember that in cold weather it's easier to skid so slow down gentler and earlier.
>Should I run a specific PSI in my tires?
Maybe lower than usual to maximize the contact area and thus grip.
>Should I run a different tire?
Studded ones are only good for a lot of ice and hardened snow. Otherwise they wear out too fast.
>What are the best styles of clothing for these rides?
Depends on the specific conditions. Very cold and windy - membraned ones to seal you off completely. Chill and not very windy - put on something extra but breathable to not get sauna'd underneath.
>What's a good beverage to have in my bottle?
Anything hot IMO. Me pops used to drink a thick mix of coffee and cocoa but that was, like, 40 years ago.

However I don't have much experience in winter cycling so whatever.

>Why is it legal for buses to not have seatbelts?

People use the unbuckled seatbelts to whip people sitting next to them. Decades ago, this was especially a problem on school buses, because, as you know, kids can be raging assholes to each other.

If a car crashes into the bus the safest area is the mid to rear top deck, a few rows back from the staircase.
If the bus hits a bridge, tree, or another bus, the safest area is on the lower deck on seats above the rear wheels.

>Why is it legal for buses to not have seatbelts?

I know it is different but coaches in england tend to have seat belt laws if they are to go on a stretch of dual carriage way/highway at any point on the journey.

This tank would be great for retreats

Its a SEAT, owned by VW
Company is from Spain
Someone imported it

>>1031625
Thanks m8!
How are they getting away with a foreign plate though?

>>1031626
They probably JUST imported the car, it's most likely very new. Those look like dealer plates, not actual Spanish plates. Temporary. Probably getting IL plates soon.

Dutch bikes are fucking trash.

Go german if you want something nice

>>1030484
They are so bad the Dutch rage quit and throw them in the canal rather than ride them

The definition of a gaspipe bike.
Sturdy and agile like an anvil.
Good for coasting 15kmh on smooth asphalt.
Really horrible to repair if they need repairs.

Try them, so you'll never wonder what they're like again.

7

I use a 5 point logarithmic scale, I can't imagine 7.

I would say 1.6

Prague is actually overstuffed with cars and Prague cagers are pretty agressive. One or two streets in old town don't really make a change.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Have a Praha Hlavni Nadrazi.

Sure it's not that picturesque but I have good memories of that place.

Actually have a Plzen Hlavni Nadrazi as well, because that has quite a nice main building.

Hlavni Nadrazi = Main Station in Czech by the way

Praha = Prague
Plzen = Pilsen
