Even though I had a flat on my commuter and would have usually trained in to work yesterday, I borrowed my partner's bike so that I could enjoy the ~10cm of light fluffy untracked snow on a few parts of my route 😲❄️🚲
It can be so magical #wintercycling!

Didn't notice any new bike parking at Dow's Lake station today. Maybe the new facility was the Mooney's Bay station?

It is! But I don't recall any bike parking station. I'll have another look.
I know there is a brand new one that just opened at Mooney's Bay Station last week and it's wonderful!

Hey #ottbike!
I'll likely be putting in an order at Holland Bike Shop soon. If you are interested in WOBS (pogies for sweptback handlebars), send me a message. If there is any interest, we can split the shipping/duties. ❄️🚲
