that cruddy snow is fantastic for practicing bike handling skills 😃.
point of these posts is to show most Ottawa winter days are perfect to commute by bike, kids included. this week we had 2 days that were not. 3/5 isn't bad though. School bus winter score: 12/15

Five more beautiful winter days behind us.✅✅✅✅✅ Just like hockey, skiing, sledding or simply going for a walk, cycling is a great way to enjoy the outdoors in the winter. School bus winter score: 9/10.

Last year biked in 42 of 45 winter school days. more pleasant then driving. more reliable then school bus. This winter has only 47 school days ☹️. Lets see how many of these we can bike in 😀. The first two were beautiful.

In the U.S., however, walking or biking to school has become less common over the last 50 years.
