I live in a similar climate in central Oregon. If you ride fixed you will have more control over breaking. ( think driving a manual vs. automatic transmission). It is still pretty sketchy though. If you plan on riding in the snow a lot I would suggest riding a slightly smaller frame than you are used to because you will have more control. I think someone makes a studded tire also.

I really like the BFGoodrch All Terrain tires. They are very good in driving in the snow, especially at this time of the year.

Haven't used it in the snow but it is rated for it and I've used it in 50mph gusts and as long as all the tie downs are used it will be fine

We live up in the mountains in colo. & we used it for a green house this summer & its still up . it is about 24F & lots of snow so we went out to check it out for you & its very bendable still in good shape hope this helps you out .

Absolutely. I mostly ride it around the neighborhood with my daughter. I hit the trails a lot also. I will eventually upgrade the front shocks, but I am a heavier guy, thats why.

Hi the weather in CA. Is much better than Boston. What the heck are you doing in Boston? About the bike I really have no idea. I have not been through a winter with it. I plan to go to AZ and CA for this winter so it may never see snow. I really like the smooth ride I get but cannot help you in your situation. Good luck.

Just bought it this summer, no experience with snow yet, but the frame is strong and it has a good pitch, snow should slide off.

Mine is outside right now....seems to be doing ok in the snow. I guess we will see in the spring.

Yes it's great! I had knee surgery and was told to get a recumbent bike for when it gets "tight" in cold weather. I have it on tile flooring and it is stable and sturdy. Pedals are smooth but get tighter depending in how you set it.

Not ideal...I did it in Switzerland and the winter here is not as tough...quite slippery with the original tires. In winter I use the MTB which has better results on snow and ice. Only positive if you slip & fall toy might stand and can let the bike fall...with the crank brothers on my MTB it is a sure fall &#128531;

Dan did a great job of answering your question. Keep an eye othe temp.....there are times I still need to add snow to keep it around 80

I think the wheels are fine. You can't wait until 6 inches of snow has piled up. If you get out there with it after 2 or 3 you can move the snow very easily.

I've had mine about a year and a half and it's been drenched in the rain many times. Still works fine. The back power cable did rust off and break when the wind knocked it over a few months ago. Had to ship the wheel to FL and cost me $80. Then I had to take the bike to my bike shop to fix alignment. The bike is a beast and is tough enough for dodging Atlanta traffic. I commute 8 miles 5 times a week and love it. Great bike but like any bike it does require repair now and again.

We live in Colorado and have only had snow and cold temps so far. It's very heavy duty. My only recommendation is that it runs big and we have high winds and it tends to blow off (even with the straps). I wish there were more straps. I've had to resort to large bungee cords.

I live in the south and have mine on a Honda 14 model for about 6 months now. Was real happy at the ease of installation and durability. I routinely put stuff on the top as I am unloading the back of my truck and think it would probably do OK with a snow load provided it wasn't the real heavy wet snow like we get in the south.

As far as cross country is concerned, it's a very tough bike. and is well built. As far as bags are concerned,there is a ten pound limit, but as far as overheating, you shouldn't have any problems. The only problem I've had is with getting water on any electrical part, but it must be pretty hard rain or from a hose.
