Ice Cycling

Iscykling
Swedish word of the day.Iscykling. Ice cycling. Not something I really enjoy. And usually the municipality will keep one walkway/bike path in Haninge clear from ice and snow at all time, but not yesterday when it was non-stop bone breaking cycling for most of the way. This is particularly bad here in Handen as this stretch was redesigned and made narrower a number of years ago when a new bus stop was temporarily moved here during the construction of a new underground bus depot closer to the commuter station. And then when all that work was done they somehow forgot to change this stretch back to how it used to look.

You probably use up more energy and calorie that way

Do you have snow tires? : )

I have snow tires on one bike, but not on the eBike. Yet.

Wow, that looks like it could be dangerous. I'd be afraid I might break something.

Some places with snow, the bikers have studded tires for their bikes.

It might have been a day to stay home.

I'm not sure if anyone here bikes in winter, but the city makes a point of cleaning those lanes before doing anything else.
