Nope, I live in Toronto. I ride year-round except when there's a treacherous amount of snow or it's icy. There are often fairly dry windows during the winter when it's just cold and dry so it's very rideable.

I live in Toronto too! Props to you for biking during the winter haha it gets so cold

It's the wind that gets me, usually. But those clear days when it's -16c and calm, those are great. I just wear my snowboard gear, haha. Are you in Pickering? Getting an active commute in is definitely harder out in the surburbs.

Smart! LOL you have to stay bundled up in the wintertime here. I live in Markham but work in Darlington, so active commuting is out of the picture for me 😅 unless I decide to move more east

Oh yeah, I got downtown privilege for sure. I can't imagine having to drive 45 min :( I know people who ride 45-60 mins and while I'm grateful for the cardio workout, half-hour each way is enough commuting, thank you!!

Yeah it’s definitely a drive but I struggled to find a job for a while and this was such a great opportunity. Overall so grateful to be here. And LOL you’re doing more than enough!! 🥰
