@corvus Thank you, and welcome! It would also be interesting for me to visit Thunder Bay some day
There is a large Finnish population in Thunder Bay, you would probably feel right at home (except for the terrible cycling infrastructure).
I've shared some of these pictures here before but thought I would post them again.

@corvus Thanks! That's heartwarming, all that heritage looks like a little piece of home there far away 🥰 I’d absolutely love to visit Thunder Bay one day (and maybe help the city to improve their cycling infrastructure and maintenance while I’m there

, right now. Absolutely no filters needed at all 🤌
-20°C, wind chill -28°C.This is one of our main cycling and walking routes (#8) and here we have a 5 km stretch with ZERO at-grade crossings with motor traffic. I repeat, it's physically impossible to meet any motor traffic here. So it is very peaceful, safe and comfortable to ride and walk completely uninterrupted. Just bliss.

@wthinker @pekkatahkola Does it stand on its own?
@bastian @pekkatahkola Bike? Yes. -

@pekkatahkola @aeva gods, that's absolutely gorgeous
I wish I could just take a stroll with a friend and enjoy the landscape

@ThePolishDispatch I was just using simple cheap lobster type gloves/mitts. These are pretty beaten already
Cannot really recommend this brand, but I like these 2+2+1 style lobsters in general for winter stuf.@pekkatahkola @ThePolishDispatch got a pair of those, too

@pekkatahkola
It' unbelievable what is possible with some "maintanance"! A dream for us in Germany. Deepest winter and cycling...First time I heard from the "Winter Cycling Capital of the World" in the #antrittpodcast in your interview.
https://detektor.fm/gesellschaft/antritt-pekka-tahkola-ueber-radfahren-im-finnischen-winterFor not german speaking interested cyclists: It is a German podcast but the interview with Pekka Tahkola is in english. Jump to minute 4:15. It's very interesting.
