Re: Weekend Bike Blogging: The Joy of Winter Bikin (4.00 / 3)

I used to bike on ice in the Netherlands back when we had real winters. I drove half of my 6 kilometres trip home from school on ice. It's great fun (at low speed, of course). Driving on ice is less treacherous than driving on streets with frozen rain on them, though technically, that's like driving on uneven ice.

I took a spin with the racing bike last Saturday evening through Berlin at a dry -1 degrees Celsius. Together with a flatmate. First time in ages. It was great fun, though I discovered I really need shoe covers if I want to do it more often, because my biking shoes are designed for a large amount of ventilation.

Yes, as fall gave way to winter ... (4.00 / 2)

... shoe covers that would stay on my toes changed from "want to haves" into "must haves" ... that was the reason for counting fingers and toes in the Winter Bike blog linked to above, to check that there were not any toes missing.
