Who here commutes in the winter? How do you winter bike prep? I’ve been cycling a ton lately and still plan to commute in the winter when it’s not frost-bite conditions.

I’m really wondering about the ice, snow, and lack of plowing bike lanes, especially when it gets dark by 4PM. Are cars less likely to be cyclist friendly?

I’m learning there is going to be SO much maintenance work for the winter. Have to swap out some of the most standard parts on a bike once it hits 32F. I’m looking at it the same way as how you winterize your house: it’s routine work you just need to do and invest in.

I fully plan to use my bike all winter because I have the clothing gear, I just suspect I’m going to have to fork over some cash to the bike shop and for tires. I mean, it’s like having a car as a commuter, right? Costs money.

Buy a high viz helmet now if you don’t already have one. Motorists are less cyclist friendly because they’re seeing them less in the winter. That’s why every spring motorists have to “relearn” that cyclists exist.

What kind of bike do you have? Depending on the bike, you may be better off just buying a different bike for the winter vs customizing everything.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
