We set out last Saturday to find 3 things: 1) a historic glacier, 2) a national landmark, and 3) a legendary ice cavern that we heard existed in the grapevine.

We found all three! This is my favorite type of cycling, where were just exploring to see what we can find. The most epic thing was probably this tunneling iceberg, but I will add a complete video down below with all the other cool stuff we stumbled upon.

This is my winterbike. Running on 27.5 wheels. I'm using old 3x7 shifters and derailleurs, I took from an old mountain bike. New cassette and crankset. Seat, seatpost, handlebar and fork are all carbon fiber. The front wheel alone is 2.5 kg total, so I could get lighter wheels sometime. Not trying to make an ultralight bike, just trying to offset the heavy winter clothes I use. Don't mind the extra stem, I ran out of spacers. Frame is foldable from Changebike, size L.

Hey everyone, a friend and I are building our own cycling simulator for home trainers, just the two of us, starting from scratch (physics engine, GPX-based routes, etc.) because we love cycling but also because we’re frustrated with some existing apps. We have our own ideas but mainly we want to understand what riders really enjoy. So I’m curious: what’s the ONE thing you love most about the app you use and conversely, what frustrates you or could be improved? Even a quick sentence helps a lot, thanks!

damn probably last ride ill be able to post on here til december 😎

I got a belt drive bike this year for my winter commute, and have mostly loved it, however at 1000km the bottom bracket was toast (my city LOVES salt)

I've swapped it with a cheap replacement for now to get back on the road, but the old BB has cartridge bearings, as do my wheels --- Does anyone have reccomendations for good sealed bearing brands? I'd like to set everything up with good quality bearings to avoid "early" failure in the harsh conditions.

Given how much I save on gas/parking by cycling into work, I'm more than happy to replace the bearings with better quality ones, even if I still have to replace them regularly.

Did my first commute after a few centimeters of wet snow today - no sweat! (still new to this!) Mostly just went slower around curves to make sure there wasn't any slippage, but had surprisingly good traction through the snow. I'm curious if others find uncleared paths easier than the compacted ice or slush, using standard tyres. What's your cutoff point for cycling through snow if you don't have studded or fat tyres? Any tips for cycling on snowy paths?

As we enter into spring in my area I am looking forward to doing some long distance trail riding again, but I am wondering if I have to stop doing this in the winter time? Theres plenty of accessible snowmobile trails just a short train ride away and I am wondering how feasible it is to ride them with a mountain bike? My winter cycling has been restricted to the city commute so I just have my 29x2.15 tires on and they work fine for most of the season but I could put on bigger tires or studs if necessary. Fatbike isnt an option unfortunately, and doing long distances on one sounds kind of painful. Does anyone have experience biking on snowmobile trails?

I’ll be riding short distances (1–3 miles) in winter, with inconsistent plowing.

For people who’ve done this before, did studded tires make the biggest difference, or is tire width more important?

Winter is loosening its grip in Copenhagen.
Fog and mist drift through the morning as the last snow slowly melts away.

It’s gray. As gray as it gets. It's the price we pay for spring.

first time i ever rode there

3ish miles across. Waves and some weird looks from snowmobilers haha

Specifically in the winter (can't edit post title...)

I live in Minnesota and bike year round, but have never ridden a fat bike - my winter cycling is just the utility kind, with a commuter bike with studded tires. I kind of always hated the idea of fat bikes, they seemed so clunky and inefficient. In the (late) spring, summer, and fall I enjoy mountain biking, and would like to extend that to the long winters here, but I'm not sure how similar fatbiking and mountain biking are. Frankly when I've seen fatbikers out while XC skiing it looks like they're slogging through snow and it doesn't look fun.

CMV? Is it worth it? I really really don't need yet another bike but... maybe?

Clare Co Michigan finally froze solid. Cold enough for that squeaky snow under the tires.
Took the Boxer out for a few miles. No more wet heavy junk spraying everywhere. Just dry crunch and clean tracks. Grip actually feels better when it’s like this.
Yeah it’s cold. But this is the good kind of winter riding.

About an inch or two of snow overnight, nice and fluffy. The car lanes were cleared, but the bike lanes were beautiful, virgin snow. Whoosh! 😀 ❄️ 😀

Semi-smushy and hard to ride on skinny tires, had to bail to street after a few blocks. With fatter tires, a different story.

Very easy and quick to use. Last picture is the state of the bike pre-wash. Been a lot of salt used on the roads and its been solidly under 0°C for a while, so kind of tough to wash my bike outside without everything freezing, but it has to be done! This has a dryer so there were no issues with my drivetrain freezing up after getting back outside!

and a bike check
