2013/11/24: Winter bike ride

When I gave a presentation about bicycle promotion at a speaking event of The Bicycle Project last week, someone asked if the bicycle can also be an alternative to driving a car in the winter, when it is cold and there is snow and so on. Today I experienced the answer: yes, it can! It hurts (-11°C, 35 km/h chilly wind), but it works! You don’t believe that I was really cycling in this cold? I did, look at the pictures! It was a great tour, the noise of the creaky snow beneath the wheels is unique. But to be honest: the hot bath tub afterwards was even better than the bicycle tour itself...



You can clearly see a transition in my face: full of anticipation before I started the tour…



…and completely frozen at the end of the tour.



Believe it or not, these two pictures show the same place, with only one month difference. I took the first one on my cycling tour to Tommy Thompson Park, the second one today. By the way: I took 1,199 (!) other pictures in between, amazing…
