Hello Lynne
a lot of bikers don't use their bikes in winter, for 4 month, they only pay
insurance fore 8 month then, but my insurancecompani does for the hole
year,
in winter we sprey a lot of salt on the roads, and that is not so god for
the metal and the chromium on the bike, but I have a scooter a vespa et 2,
that drives 45 km/h I will be using that in the winter time, then I have my
bicycle, I live now in a town, and there ain't long for shopping, about 1½
mile to city, and 1/4 of a mile to the local shop. And the trip to my work
takes 4 min. on pushbike.
I have bought some wind and watherproofed trouses and jacket, with some
padding for the bag, arm, shoulder, hips and knees, for protection incase I
turn over with the bike, and incase the frost on the road are in patches,
it
is suicide to drive. The vespa dont drive so fast, so that is easyer to
handle.
And another thing is I still have to get my garage/workshop finised, I still
have a lot to do. So that's why I first can drive in march
Next winter it will come out when the wether is nice and dry, and no
salt on the road, and after I have listen to the weather forcast
Dorte from Denmark where we to day had our first snow
<<I am
longing to go fore rides, but first in martch, is put away for the winter.
Dorte>>
Why wait???? My little scooter (it won't grow up!) takes me to work every
day through the winter as well as summer (For nearly 5 years now)! It
lives
outside under a nice cover. I wrap up warm and thaw my fingers out at
work!
If it's very icy or lots of snow (v. rare) I take the train instead but
that's only a couple of days a year! BTW leather trousers don't bend
enough
but quilted waterproof trousers over work ones keep me lovely and snug
with
a pair of snow boots to keep the toes cozy and dry.
Enjoy!
Lynne (drooling at the thought of a nice big bike......)
