Just some regular traffic on a +0°C day with freezing wet drizzle and freezing fog on a pretty car-centric semi-industrial area in Oulu, Finland today.

Air +0°C
Road (surface) -1°C 😅🤌
Bike path surface probably a bit colder since there's much less friction warming it up.

@pekkatahkola The weather is like ours in Minsk. Maybe a little colder. But a cyclists much less in Minsk.

@pekkatahkola Do you have to contend with many eBikes where you are? I hear they have become a pest in some traditionally cycle-centric cities.

@bosquebill I've had zero problems with ppl with ebikes here. They're getting pretty common here and it seems to be mostly a very good thing.

@pekkatahkola I'm glad to hear that. Here ebike riders seem to be mostly people who are inexperienced and don't understand the courtesies of the bike trail (and ride their heavy bikes too fast without respect to others.)

@pekkatahkola I guess the hand signal is to the cyclist in behind that you're passing?

@pekkatahkola

As someone in the US, this would be terrifying. Aside from people practically wanting to run over you, you have the added worry of cars sliding on ice. 😨

@jchaven One of the reasons why so many places need safe well maintained infrastructure 😰
