Eyy samesies! Though I've only owned a car for three years so utility before that was mostly with a bicycle year round (if I didn't borrow a car). And now I also have a cargo bike so once again most utility is done by bike.
I've heard Canadian winters are pretty cold. Like sub freezing cold. Which is by far the easiest time bike maintenance wise especially if it's too cold for salt. You don't really need to relube even once in those conditions. There's no dust, no water, no nothing.
Sadly that's not what we get. We get slush all winter long. Cursed coast and southern warmth!
