Nice ride in. Although it was -8C (18F) with a 10km/h (6mph) wind and I dressed for milder temperatures, I was fine. There was a bit of snow last night but I am more confident on the roads now, there is no snow on the main roads (and just surface on the side streets) so I've left the sidewalks until next winter.

I have to fix my pedal situation: I've been riding this week in my MTB shoes (with an SPD cleat underneath) on my old bike with rat trap pedals and my feet keep slipping around on the pedals. Either I need to install toe clips on the pedal from another bike or get a PowerGrip. I could get SPD pedals but I don't want to spend the money, I'd rather spend it on my summer bikes, get them ready for the challenges I've set myself for this summer. However, if someone has a used but usable set of SPD pedals that they want to get rid of for cheap (plus shipping), PM me.
