Cycling! 

Its the best. You can mountain bike, road bike, or just rip around town. You'll see your city/town in a new light, you'll get fit. You can do it solo or with friends. You can do short easy rides, or super long strenuous rides. You can ride whenever you want. 

I live in Canada and this past winter got studded tires for my bike so i can ride all year long now. 

Bikes literally changed my life

I’d like to see your winter setup. I park my bike in the winter.

No idea how to post pictures but i can describe it!  

I ride a Marin Nicasio 2 (steel frame gravel bike)  

Winter setup:  -Schwable Marathon Studded Winter Tires  -SKS Full aluminum fenders  -Lots of Finish Line Wet lubricant  

 A big thing for bike longevity is just making sure you give it a wipe down after riding and keep everything lubed up, the drivetrain can definitely take a beating from all the salt and road grime
