Winter cycling

Winter road home

The landscape has been covered with snow the whole December in my sourroundings but I have been still cycling to work regularly. Though I have had to walk to work few times because the snow had not been cleaned from the roads due a heavy snowing during the night. Some people change for the winter tires with spikes but I cycle through the winter with the same hybrid bike and summer tires. As I go throug the streets of Kauniainen and Espoo regularly I have noticed how the streets of Kauniainen are maintained in better condition during the winter months. That might change in the future because Kauniainen is looking for savings as the health care system change led Kauniainen in financial trouble.
