I got a ride in, I got a ride in! Hurray!
It'd been 7 weeks since I'd been on my bike, and as I'm now 6.5 months pregnant... I wasn't sure how stable I'd be.
Turns out my upright, super low step through with studs is fine! (Although I might be running out of low gears) Unfortunately our weather sucks! We have had an almost had record breaking amount of snowfall this month, and have broken the record for snow on the ground! That coupled with our total inability to clear snow... the plows just push it around and they are running out of space - means I have only a few safe places to bike at my slow speed.
It has been our anniversary tradition to frostbike to a restaurant downtown, but I didn't think I'd get that far... so we put our bikes on the car and headed to a pathway that takes us right downtown, then we had our date night dinner and hot chocolate on restaurants that are either right on the path, or just off a cycletrack, and then we biked back to the car and drove home. 7km roundtrip bike... @ -18C with a biting wind!
Biking is so great for my mood, hips, sleep etc.! What I wouldn't do for just a little more infrastructure and maintenance to make winterbiking a bit more accessible.
