There’s been an impressive increase in winter riders over the past few years and I’m no longer the only one riding to work in the snow at -30. I’m seeing continuous bike traffic on all my routes and a steady increase in the new lanes as people learn about them.

Yes, I am riding my bike in January. People ski in January. Biking in winter is no more difficult than skiing in winter.
