Old Bicycle
Not a winter bike, I did ride one like this all year in my youth. (In the 1970's.) When it was -25C people I worked with must have felt sorry for me, they called and offered a ride in. I don't recall being cold or uncomfortable. I did use the laneways and less used streets - didn't want to crash and land in front of a bus.
I'm sure the chain & lock were worth more than than the bike.
