These pictures are amazing and I admire the spirit. But could you just clarify one thing. These people as usual are bicycling in their regular clothes and apparently on their way to work or some place similar. When they get there aren't their clothes going to be soaking wet from head to toe?
proper winter-clothing (for whatever level of winter you have) will remain cold on the outside if they insulate correctly. Thus, the snow will never melt, and can be brushed off before you go inside. Only if your body-heat leech through the clothing to melt the snow, will you be wet (and cold)
The only part of my clothing that's wet when I arrive is my scarf, because it covers my mouth, and my breath condense on it.
It looks so cold !
ReplyDeleteGreat images.
ReplyDeleteIt only snows when the temperature is around zero.. hopefully it's not a wet cold!
ReplyDeleteIt must be hard to bike against the snow & wind!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely impressive seeing all these bicyclists in the background in these shots. Just the sheer number of them hardy souls! Thanks for the photos.

ReplyDeletethey're wearing the same clothes as they would as pedestrians, so i'm assuming that they have chosen clothes that can withstand snow and cold.
ReplyDeleteCyclingred, I can answer that.
