I'm sure you'll get to your goal easily barring any major snowstorm in your area. You probably would snowshoe..instead.

I find if I am not hiking out in the forest somewhere, if I have to walk beyond3-4 kms. I get impatient...and think: how slow! I could get there easily by bike.

I don't have my driver's license..so I predict in my old age...if I get to a point I can't bike much, then I will wheel my groceries by walking my bike alongside instead of a buggy. It will be a wonderful illusion

In fact, I just heard from my partner here, that he knew of a guy whose 92 yr. mother in Demark, does this: she walks alongside her bike with panniers and basket full of groceries.
