Utility cycling in the snow, Utrecht (Netherlands)
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
On this sunny Monday afternoon in December 2010 the roads were covered with heavy snow. But people in the Netherlands keep on using their bicycles as much as possible. Although there are fewer cyclists because of the snow, still many of the Dutch prefer to take their bike for their usual journeys even in these conditions. If cycling is for utility reasons you are less likely to change your behavior because of the weather. Normally the protected cycle paths are well cleared of snow. But this time only a few main routes were fully clear of snow and ice. That was also the case for the car lanes. The city seemed taken by surprise by the very early Winter. Utrecht, Netherlands 20 December 2010

Somehow in this life of mass confusion, the Dutch have found organization - even when it snows!

Even the side walks are semi clean, the only reason a lot of people won't bike here on the states in winter. No bike lanes, and the side walks get pile up with snow from the roads. People can't even walk on the side walk. We need to do a better job here.

Wow. As a winter utility cycling Winnipegger, I'm quite envious.

This is how I remember training on the road bike there. I miss that fun misery.

tell that to prince george. we're the snowiest subarctic area in bc, and we have no way of getting to and fro by bike when it's winter. just no sideways traction. what we need is winterised (studded) training wheels free to all cyclists getting a new bike on no promise in particular.

I remember that week. Loved riding, it brings you in a very aware zen-like state of riding your bike. Looking forward to this winter. :)
