Winter Cycling

Bike parking buried in snow

Yesterday, I had to walk to work and home. The recent snow storm in Toronto had abruptly hindered my December cycling days. That was, until some cyclists passed me by.

Tonight, a slushy and wet road pulled the back wheel of my Pashley into the streetcar track on Adelaide street at rush hour and I flew out into the road with oncoming traffic.

It seems that sustaining a long-term bond with my Pashley is like a relationship. There are times when a break is necessary if I want to have more good times with it later. For now, my winter boots will be my best friend in the next few months ahead.
