For anyone that thinks riding a bike in the snow is not an option you should rethink the possibility.
Today Atlanta is under siege from 4-6 inches of snow and ice. The city and surrounding areas aren’t use to the white stuff and people in little 2 wheel drive sports cars are trying to drive in the freezing ice and snow. Makes you want to own a body shop, momentarily. As I was at the gym this morning the raoming news reporter was beside herself as she found a person commuting on his bike. He wasn’t the completely serious cyclists, but an average citizen that needed to get somewhere and chose his bike to do so. His ride was a standard fat tire version and maneuvered quite well.
Even my son and his friend took to their bikes to get to the local hill to sled. Having the choice is what most advocates are all about. Most of us have motor vehicles and drive as needed for life’s adventures, but want everyone to have a “safe” option to choose a bicycle for their mode of transportation.
Do you ride in the snow? How often and where?
