Tomorrow will be my first day at my Haworth. I am planning on cycling to work as much as I can. The reason is simple: I feel better when I get my blood pumping. Getting rid of a car commute in morning rush hour and replacing it with a bike ride along the river at sunrise sounds like a good idea to me! The first 2/3 of the commute is on the bike path - after that it's in the industrial park - unfortunately. Lots of trucks. I will have to find a not so busy route through that area.
I am using my shitty city bike - an old mountain bike for winter riding. It got some TLC, bike rack and studded tires. Today Vik and I tried out the route in +10 degrees: it's about 15km and takes 1 hour one way. I felt pretty comfortable riding on slush, snow and ice. The weather forecast says 0 degrees for tomorrow morning, we will see how it goes!

You look so professional. You should consider a career as a winter bike courier.
Na servas! Also, wenn die Spikes auf Eis nicht mehr genügen, dann Schneeketten und die beste Lösung sind dann wohl die Öffentlichen!
Sei vorsichtig. PM
