Just had a horrible experience - need guidance (lemmy.ca)

I’m eating dinner and all of a sudden it really hits me that the riding season is genuinely over for me in the next few weeks.

It’s 0-2 C every morning now and the afternoon it gets up to 9-10. I just got this bike in June. The tires are probably not very good below 6.

How do y’all cope with having to put the bike up for winter? Do you pick up a winter hobby?

If you have a warm garage build something to ride when it gets warmer, if not, video games?

One typically needs money for tools and junkers off of marketplace. All my money is gone from this bike 😭

So.. video games for bikers, plenty for car people, I think the last biking one I enjoyed might have been called gp500.

Or play something like Just Cause/GTA and explore ride. JC2 had some spectacular water/beachs, sunny calming speed boating, perfect for winter.

Just cause 2 is great. I played the crap out of that when I was younger.
