It's the cool season, not the off season.

Winter cycling only seems crazy if you haven't tried it before. With the right gear, it can be enjoyable and very rewarding.

So let's share our experiences, and please feel free to ask questions!

Snow Warrior | National Film Board (www.nfb.ca)

Snow Warrior is a love letter to the splendour of winter. It captures the beauty of a northern city through the eyes of a bicycle courier named Mariah. We see her ready herself and her bike for a gruelling day’s work of racing through the snow and traffic to get her deliveries into the hands of her customers.

No snow yet in my area, but I'm still out here commuting in the damp and the dark. It'll be much prettier once we get some white on the ground.

It's expensive stuff, but if you're ever looking to upgrade to some good rain pants, I recommend them! 20% sale rn. They're also great for frigid conditions. I have these
