1 year ago

The reality of riding a bicycle through Edmonton winter is harsh. Chemicals that melt the ice for better traction also wreak havoc with the bike and cause corrosion that can ruin your bike.
I’m showing you my new rear wheel and how I prepare it for use on the bike.
Along the way you will see what my wishlist for an improved winter bike looks like.

Here is a video with winter cycling tips: https://youtu.be/jwGQnALesX0?si=zp4Std-qk1RZ3y9H
