Feminist reflections on fitness, sport, and health
Or is it? I was sure I had seen a post about saying it was, but can’t find it now. No matter: I rode to work anyway, for the first time in over a year.
It’s the beginning of fall, and a perfect time to ride. No heat, no bugs, and the leaves are just starting to turn where I live.
Now that one little “day” has me back on my bike, I am planning to “ride the thermometer down” so that I can be sure to do International Winter Bike to Work Day on February 12, 2027.
I had a pretty good January of winter riding thanks to #31DaysofWinterRiding but it ended with a week of riding in warm, sunny Florida and it was hard to get back on the bike in the snow after that.
But I’m starting up again tomorrow prompted by #WinterBikeToWorkDay.
Upsala, Sweden is currently top on the leaderboard with the most committed winter cyclists but it’s nice to see some Canadian cities up in the top ten. Hi Calgary! Hi Montreal!
If you’re looking for how to tips, here’s my advice on winter cycling complete with fashion tips.
See you out there!
(Update: It’s snowing really hard out there. My plan is to ride my fat bike. It’s also going to be cold. Here’s the forecast: Sunny. Wind up to 15 km/h. High minus 8. Wind chill minus 26 in the morning and minus 13 in the afternoon. Brrr! Wish me luck!)
