Frost Danger?

[john1096]

Does anyone have any experience and/or thoughts on the dangers of frost? In a car it is a non-issue. It seems to be less of a danger than rain, and I don't mind riding in the rain. I've never heard of frost being a factor in an accident, as opposed to rain, wind, sunlight, etc., and I deal with those all the time. I rode at about 31 degrees the other day (unseasonable cool for this time of year here) and saw that frost was forming on top of the vehicles parked outside, but not on the ground yet, so I wasn't too concerned. I know there will come a day when there is a hard frost on the ground and I will want to ride. My wife will tell me how stupid I am, but I probably won't listen. I guess I could just leave the house predawn before the frost starts to form, but I'm really not a morning person. The streets and roads I travel have pretty heavy traffic, and I think that would make a difference, as well.
