I have made my initial winter foray on bike and I have one snowy/icy ride under me and I am actually looking forward to some light snow to try it again.Ottawa bike guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365339487504777098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168799269480295833.post-38700265610839088562010-12-06T11:53:58.262-08:002010-12-06T11:53:58.262-08:00Winter cycling is not at all difficult to do in Ot...Winter cycling is not at all difficult to do in Ottawa. I've been doing it for years, downtown and in the suburbs. <br /><br />You just can't think you can ride the same way you do in the summer. Even with segregated bike lanes, and plowed paths, you still have to deal with snow, ice, slush, and motor vehicles. <br /><br />The important thing is to not stop cycling regularly, and to give yourself lots of time to adjust to cycling in winter. Slow down, and learn to handle your bike in the cold. There are plenty of resources to learn best practices.Charles A-Mhttp://centretown.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
