Yeah, it’s not really winter here in SF but the rainy season. Although I built myself an SS full fender bike for it this year about 2 months ago now and I think I cursed us, there’s only been a couple of very light sprinkly days since. I actually want it to piss down so as to justify the fenders and get a few more of those fair weather folks of the roads and MBP’s. This is always my favorite time of year to ride.

We don’t get much winter here. Just lows in the 40’s, maybe 30’s (like this coming weekend), and maybe a it more rain. Anything below 50 and I cry all the way home.

I need to get some fenders so that I don;t repeat last winter and have cold feet and ankles form slush splashing up on them.

It’s like 40f and dry here. Very bikeable weather IMO with a little wool.

I like those cold winter mornings where it’s like 25-30, I can see my breathe in the air and I’m toasty on arrival to my destination while everyone else is freezing.
