-20C to -30C in winters past. Never long rides, usually 20 minute commutes.
Southern Ontario hasn't really had winter this season until a few days ago.
But a mix of freezing rain, ice pellets, wet and fluffy snow made riding
interesting again. The lows have been in the -12C -15C range. Riding though
that gravelly slippery chop on top of slick asphalt is definitely an
acquired skill. I found myself 'remembering' to use leg control more to keep
balance. It feels like a distinct skill set.
Riding a bike in snow is like... riding a bike. You never forget.
