I must say I did hear on the weather station that Ontario has been getting hit hard with the cold weather... I just hope it doesn't head my way! (nova scotia)
It was like +10C yesterday....raining though.

The X is great in the snow...gets up evreyhill, just has a little trouple in the snow thats over a foot tall...but it still gets through it relativley easily...climbs the hills with ease in the snow, I was very surprised...

2 More pictures, both of them are action pics, but I would hardly call it any action, lol...First one, Im doing donuts...was VERY dizzy when I was done...2nd one I tried to accelerate hard, but got no traction and just stayed still...Yes the back wheel is spinning, very fast, you just cant really tell from the pics...

I rode yesterday after work. Wow! It was chilly out! But the riding was fun! I only went around our backyard, but it was good to play in the snow.
My 200X does well in the snow. I have 20" tires, so it does get hung up in the deeper stuff. Once I get 22", I should be a bit better off.
Great pics BTW.

Yeah mines the same deal...gets hung up in the deeper stuff, but it just digs through till it gets enough traction...usually when it hits the grass...

lol I hear ya, I was working at my local ski hill on the lifts and my hand was wet from my tea and I grabbed the chair to swing it and it stuck lol, good thing my tea was hot and then I poured it on and was good to go.(I dont choose to drink tea but its free with the job)
Awesome riding pics BTW, we should go ride sometime. Nice donut(s) and keep that X looking nice.
