Today was a beautiful but different day for a bike ride. Fewer cars than normal. The slow traffic quietened so you could hear the falling snow. It made for a beautiful day as long as you have to clothing to stay warm.

My layers were pretty simple. I had pogies/bar mits with my regular cycling gloves on underneath, a thick wool shirt under the jacket, a wool neck gaiter, and the rain pants over some athletic pants. Water proof boots for good measure. Feet started to get a little cool towards the end of being out for over an hour. Wool socks would have fixed that quick though.

The e bike definitely helped with the snow build up in the fenders and pushing the snow out of the way. Still wasn’t riding over 10mph though. Step thru frame makes getting on the bike easier as well as less worry about putting a leg down. My front brake was squeaky due to the cold which was funny. Its totally quiet when its dry and warmer.
