Who's putting their bike away for the winter because the roads in your area have been salted already?

My chaps were turned white by salt last Friday, but I won't stop riding yet.

My bike can be washed, just about as easily as my car. I stop riding because it's cold and it takes me longer to put on cold weather riding gear than it does to just get where I'm going most of the time.

I never really put mine away last year, but, we had 1/2 day of snow. This year, not sure. Here in Ohio, we have two seasons - summer and winter. This week, it's been decent, but I haven't ridden. Tomorrow, I will. It will be COLD on my way in to work, but really nice on my way home.
I don't think I'll really put mine away anyway. I put the preserve in the tank, but that's about it. I'll go out and start it up, move it around if it's been sitting a while, but other than that...our weather here is too shaky and I won't want to miss a warm(er) winter day and the chance to ride.
I think simply because I can now get to work faster on the surface streets than on the super slab, my season has been extended a little...

Here in Calgary salt & sand are used only when the temperature is around freezing. At lower temperatures it is not that effective and calcium chloride is just too expensive to use on the roads. So, primarily they use fine rock chips to provide traction on the ice and snow.

When it does warm up to the point that we have bare streets and we can ride again we've got all this loose grit on the streets which is really dangerous when you're on two wheels.

I'm a firm believer that there is a conspiracy between the road maintenace people and all the glass shops replacing car windshields!

The people that park their bikes for the winter might keep their bikes nicer longer, but is it really worth it to miss out on several months of riding?

I say's NO!

Mine went away last Monday, and "yup", they're spraying the roads with brine here too!
-8C this morning when I went to work!
