…For some. Eleven below is a bit crisp for most of us, but this diehard cyclist had the sidecar-equipped Ural out yesterday morning.

A sidecar is a near must in a low-friction environment like snow–keeping you upright and lending a little traction for going uphill too. This sidecar has a driven wheel with its own brake.

What that extra wheel won’t help with is the frigid, frigid wind flying at you like a flock of samurai swords. Not only does this rider have a constitution like the Founders wrote, he’s also got some very effective winter riding gear.

Kudos for staring Old Man Winter in the face on a subzero morning and saying, “Think I’ll take the bike.”
