This is my 1959 Northeast Salt Eater. I love bombing around in the snow.

@coasterbrakejunkie1969 Great snow riding pics! We had a dusting on Saturday which was washed away as the temps rose.

You all ride bikes in the SNOW?????????? Y'all must be nuts. If it snows, I stay in the bed and drink hot chocolate!

Riding in fresh, powdery snow is amazing. The dangers are ice hidden under the snow and road salt eating your steel-framed bike. I've been taken down twice by hidden ice, with the most memorable being when I slid on my side while still on the bike across a two lane road. Ah, Winter!

I'm a fickle old fart. I built up the black '37 CWC a few days ago, and then got a good offer and sold the frame. I tore down the green '39 Colson a while back and put the frame up for sale, but it hasn't sold yet so I may end up putting everything back on that. Same components have been on so many builds.

I live for the snow and cold, this is my favorite time of year. My Viking blood runs hot.

Down here, the UOD for bike riding is flip-flops and cut-offs, that's it. I don't put on my straw hat until it hits 105. My Gator blood runs cold.

Same here @AS-1. My desert blood has thinned out to the point where I need a coat to ride in temps below 70F. Riding last night in the 40s was tough.

@DrRumack80 another gotcha is the hidden obstacles under thick snow. Always fun hitting a stump or rock hiding under the blanket of snow.

My bikes are not allowed to ride in neighborhoods that don't have palm trees. (BTW, nice Klunker!)

I love this thread. What a great group of VERY, VERY Cool rides.

I've got one on the drawing board right now but every time I try to start the build, reality comes up and hits me in the face with a baseball bat. Gettin' old truly sucks.
