minus-squareFranklinlinkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-27 months agoHave other people had good experiences using these in Canada?
minus-square@CanadaPluslinkEnglish2•7 months agoI’ve seen them around, even in the middle of Prairie nowhere. Not in the winter much though. I haven’t gotten the chance to try myself.
minus-square@SkepticalButOpenMinded@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish2•7 months agoThey’re everywhere in Vancouver. It’s probably better biking weather now than it is most of the summer. But biking in the snow should not actually be a problem in Canada. It apparently used to be very common. See this video: Not Just Bikes - Why Canadians Can’t bike in the Winter (but Finnish people can)
