@Pionir @ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A1 follow-up: Indeed, but I suspect that this changed a bit since the beginning of the COVID pandemic. And #WinterBikeToWorkDay started in 2013. And it's not always Feb. 13th but indeed every 2nd Friday of Febuary: https://winterbiketoworkday.org/

I suspect that you might have gotten more people to try this on a Friday.

(Actually found the website only now, so far I only knew about it from local events and from the Fediverse. And that website still mentions 2025.)

@jfparis @ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A1 follow-up; Yeah, #WinterBikeToWorkDay is just the little sibling to #Frostpendeln: @frostpendeln, https://frostpendeln.de/, a community-based all winter long cycling event. (And not just commuting despite "Pendeln" in German means "commuting".)

I'm now at 363km since January 1st and at 872km since Nov. 1st. Already having cycled 920km this year is impressive.

Schönen Sonntag!

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8: Two more pictures from yesterday's #WinterBikeToWorkDay: A picture of when we arrived after teardown at Pro Velo's storage with the tent pavilion, beer bench sets, pole flags, flood lights and all the leftover merchandising stuff on two bicycle trailers and one cargo bike.

And the t-shirt I was wearing that day despite nobody saw it as it was too cold for running around just in a t-shirt.

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A1: Posting from Zurich, Switzerland. I actually didn't commute to work yesterday as I took the day off to run some errands (by bike of course 😉) and Friday would have been a work-from-home day for me anyways. Nevertheless I rode ~25km (all inside the city limits) and my last "task" of the day was to take part in the #WinterBikeToWorkDay festivities by our regional cycling advocacy association #ProVelo. I also helped with the teardown. Was back home around 21:45.

I *did* know about #WinterBikeToWorkDay but I had the day off, so biked to the ski trail instead.

#WinterBikeToWorkOUTDay maybe?

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite A1: still here in the Hudson Valley, I wish I’d known it was #winterbiketoworkday. I rode a bit yesterday, but today when I thought about the route I wanted to take I decided to walk after all. Too many roads still aren’t adequately plowed to make them wide enough for a bike, and sidewalks are in worse shape than roads. (it’s almost a month since our Big Snow)

But we have gotten above freezing twice this week! #progress

Der heutige #winterbiketoworkday hat seinen Namen verdient. Ich hatte heute morgen kurz überlegt, ob ich wegen Glättegefahr doch Bus fahre (mein Spikerad ist gerade nicht fahrtüchtig). Mein Gravelbike hat mich dann aber ganz souverän zur Arbeit gefahren. Viel Radverkehr war aber nicht, das lässt sich im Schnee ja gut sehen.
