#Frostpendeln becomes Mudpendeln.

A blue fatbike parked on a muddy gravel road lined but melting snowbanks. Power poles line the right side of the road. The Beartooth mountains under sunset clouds can be seen in the background.

The #Frostpendeln2024 season closes with 2,246 km (1,395 mi) over 74 trips from Nov. 1 to Feb. 28. The community and enthusiasm of @frostpendeln are so motivating and uplifting. A big Thank You to Tobi and the other organizers who make this happen. I look forward to next season. Perhaps there will be a team for North America?

Ice scapes on my commute. Should have taken the skates rather than the bike. #winterbiking #biking #yxe #saskatchewanriver

View over a wide partially frozen river with a small weir on the right. The ice on the left has a lovely striped pattern. A large chunk about the size and shape of a plane wing has broken off the ice shelf. On the other side of the ball one can see trees and some buildings. It’s a colour picture but the sky is overcast so everything is grey

A foot path covered in thick lumpy ice. Dirty snow banks on either side. Trees in the background

The Crazy mountains at sunset.

A blue fatbike parked on a gravel road in front of a low snowbank. A gravel pit is visible in the middle distance across the Rock Creek valley. The Crazy mountains are in the background under a pink sunset sky.

Yes. I have a whole spare (winter) bike, and ALSO spare wheels. But I am lazy and swap bikes, except by winter bike had a shifter problem and I lacked parts and now it is cold so I slapped a studded tire on my summer bike, oh well.

Path care here is variable, some are plowed clean, some are salted, some are sanded, and some are filled with piles of plowed snow+ice. I bought some sand and have been spreading it where needed.

A blue fatbike with yellow panniers leaning against a high snowbank. The road curves to the left and the Beartooth mountains fill the middle distance.

Some #WinterBiking questions:

Q8a. @Amgine asks: Have you continued to ride through the #snow?

Q8b. @MnGardener81 asks, for those who do: I have studded tires but am wondering how others handle variable winters? Does anyone have spare wheels they swap based on conditions?

Okay, I have a #WinterBiking question this week, particularly for #Outaouais #Ottawans (74 cm of snow!) and #Montréalais / #Montrealers (50-70 cm!): Have you continued to ride through the #snow?

25-30mph winds (40-48kph) have produced some hefty snow drifts for #winterbiketoworkday.

A blue fat bike with yellow panniers is leaning against a deep snow drift. The snow drift has been cut to a flat edge and is about 3 1/2 feet deep. The drift covers a garden fence that can be seen behind the bike. The Beartooth mountains are seen in the background.

Happy International Winter Bike to Work Day! (And also the other holiday too I suppose

)

Life feels easier and happier on a bicycle.

I hope everyone feels seen, appreciated, and cared for today!

Heute noch bis 20 Uhr ist am #Bullingerplatz in #Zürich die #Dankstelle vom #ProVelo zum #WinterBikeToWorkDay. Werde da jetzt zum Einleuten des Wochenendes noch mit Mr. #Winterbrompton hinradeln. Passt insofern auch, weil's hier heute Vormittag 'n paar Zentimeter Schnee hingelegt hat.

(Winter #BikeToWork _Day_?!? Hah! #Frostpendeln ist Winter Bike-To-Work _Jahresdrittel_! )

Hey Hey and Tripp check out the new drivetrain on the fatbike - Shimano Deore XT 11 speed, new bottom bracket, front ring and cranks. Also a Fox 100mm dropper post with a PNW lever.

Two dogs with black coats and white markings next to a blue fatbike parked on snowy gravel road. The dogs ears are cocked and they seem confident that a good photo pose will result in the provision of dog treats.

I had so much fun on the #stuporbowl today! Some real #WinterBiking around Minneapolis with some fresh snow. I made it to five of the stops covering ~19 miles.
