Plowed
This week we got a bit of snow. People are surprised I’m still biking. But really, in this whole transportation mess, I got it easier than most.
I just have to take the nicely cleared lane.
But there’s nothing like a little snow to show a city’s real priorities.
Hi Yall
I am going into winter this year with one bike set up with fenders and studded tires which I totally dig when the temperature is below freezing like last week. Give up biking for the season. NFW!

The minuteman bike path get plowed as well as the Charles river bike paths here in Boston.
Hi, just found this web site. Luv it. I have been cycle commuting steadily since 1988, and have managed the past three years to go completely through the Ottawa Winter by bike.
There’s lots of good stuff here that resonates. Like Un-plowed bike lanes that force me into the car lane. My defence is light. Lots and lots of lights. 4500 lumens on the helmet, that flash up every reflective sign post a full city block away, and a bright led-lit reflective vest that makes me stand out like a road side construction worker. The cold is a challenge, but manageable.
Keep posting, I just love the articles!
