Yeah, our city started regular trail clearing a few years ago and it's remarkable how many riders you'll see in the winter. Not necessarily all winter, but on many good days, there are lots on the road.
Along with that, lots of walkers... sadly, city sidewalks are as poorly cleared as ever, so there's no other place to hoof it.
