@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite #bikenite A1, posting from Carbon County, Montana where it was 49f 9.4c during my commute to town this morning. 32f 0c for the ride home. I have to confess I was ignorant of #winterbiketoworkday but am happy to have participated by luck.

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A1: Greetings from college town New England, as usual. So happens I did, in fact, #WinterBikeToWorkDay today. First I rode to the gym (18°F), then I rode to work (13°F), then I rode home after work (35°F). Still some big patches of ice on my route, which had me walking for a little & choosing a stretch of road over bike path. I rode an old cross bike today. #BikeNite

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite

I *did* know about #WinterBikeToWorkDay but I had the day off, so biked to the ski trail instead.

#WinterBikeToWorkOUTDay maybe?

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A1. I didn't know it was winter bike to work day, but I did ride a scooter to work. Haven't been biking much recently but scooter counts as leaving one fewer car in the city.

#BikeNite A1: I'm BikeNiting from #WaterlooRegion, where the temperature was above 0C today. There's snow on the ground (and in the bike lanes), that horrible mixture of icy, salty slush that's miserable to bike or walk through, and passing cars throw up a rooster tail of the stuff. And now that it's dipped below freezing again the roads, sidewalks, and bike lanes will be an unpassable, uneven, unrideable ribbon of snowcrete.

So no, I didn't commute by bike today.

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A1. I'm posting from Los Angeles CA USA. I almost didn't ride a bike at all today. I end my work day on Fridays heading to a high school campus right at the end of school. There's really nowhere to ride in the pick up area and the sidewalk is overflowing with students going the other way so I walked and took the metro today. However on the way home, the park I ordinarily cut through was taken over for a basketball tournament, and they rather rudely fenced off the middle of a public park. So I pulled a Lime Bike out of the field and rode it the quarter mile around the park in frustration. #bikenite

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite Retired and did not know. Rode a few miles yesterday in Indy, into Speedway - P&E trail not cleared, but only a thin layer of snow (that not yet melted) covered them. Only thing: where driveways crossed trail there would be little piles of snow, only some of which covered speed bumps of ice (surprise!).

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite #BikeNite A1: Posting from Alameda, CA, I didn't know today was winter bike to work day! I biked to work Tuesday and Wednesday, but I was WFH today, and didn't manage to squeeze a ride in. I took a nice mellow ride to get lunch yesterday though, it was beautiful out.

[andyw350@mindly.social]

@kimu @ascentale @xtaran @bikenite I was thinking the same thing. Also felt like Cassandra/Debbie Downer when everyone I met talks about how great the weather is.

@NNN @ascentale @xtaran @bikenite were you at Theo Wirth? I love your multimodal ambition!

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite Toot from SE London

Always commute by bike but WFH on Fridays. Was feeling very under the weather yesterday do one shortend turbo session was my limit.

Didn't know the day - but in any case no longer feels like winter in London.

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A1 - Rainy Cheshire and I commuted today (although I didn’t know it was a special commute day! Journey back wasn’t so bad but very wet going!

[pionir@masto.bike]

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite I did not know this. Seems silly to make it a Friday when no one goes to the office.

A1. Lying in bed with a cup of coffee, looking out the window on a crisp sunny morning, in the hills to the east of Manchester, Englandshire.
I did not know that the 13th was Winter Bike To Work Day. I cycle in to work twice a week year round anyway, and Fridays are very much a day I don't go into the office.

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite

A1 Home in Rome. I did not, and I would have to cycle around at home if I were freelancing, which I am not much these days.

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A1 #BikeNite A frosty (which makes a nice change from damp) Cumbria, UK and no. Never heard of it, but then I work from home.

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite #bikeNite a1

Naarm, and no. Because it's Saturday in the middle of summer

[inkyschwartz@mastodon.social]

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A1. Eastern Pa.

And no I did not know that. Not sure I could have biked to work due to the structural problems thst make biking to work hazardous in good weather.

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A1.1 BTW, the reason I knew about Winter Bike To Work Day is that the City of Kitchener had a special morning event for it.

@geonz @ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A1 reply: my gloves have clips or Velcro allowing me to attach them to each other when I take them off. I lose them a lot less when they are bigger and bulkier, plus they can actually hang over rails or handlebars. Try something; Convention lanyard, shoe laces, anything. Doesn't work? Try something else. Good luck!
