Feb 13-winter cycling day internationally

[shootingstar]

I noticed in our city, over 230 people signed up for cycling this day ...most likely a lot already cycle several times per wk. all winter.
Photos of last year's outdoor photo booth of passing cyclists:

Photo booth is by a major bike-ped path that is ploughed in the winter. Or shall I say, snowbrushed ...since the snow often is dry and sometimes a few inches/cms. to use machines with a huge bristle snow brush remover (instead of plough).

Right now, I'm still recovering from my head injury-bike collision (in Vancouver where there was no snow, ice on that day) while dearie went about cycling on primarily the paths. He has studded tires.

http://winterbiketoworkday.org/map2015/ This world map gives numbers of people participating this wk. Of course, registering oneself is completely an honour system. Still, numbers wouldn't be totally inaccurate in some areas since many cyclists still don't know about this world event (which balances off by rare folks who might register and not cycle.). Vancouver BC for instance would have waaaaay higher number of cyclists this week....many cycle because their winters are milder....like Seattle.
