It's important to keep the environment in mind and adjust accordingly to ensure a safe and comfortable experience and this article from Bicycling Magazine has some great information on maintaining a bike in the winter months. Stay safe! https://www.bicycling.com//7-easy-ways-to-winterize-your-/

In honour of National Public Works Week, learn about the City of Thunder Bay’s Active Transportation network, which is an important public works service: The Ci...ty’s Active Transportation network is an effort by several sections including planning and construction by Parks & Open Spaces and Engineering and maintained generally by Roads. Engineering is responsible for delivering the City’s Active Transportation Plan. The Active Transportation Plan provides policies and programs and identifies network improvements that will encourage and support active transportation through 2048. The Active Transportation network consists of many types of infrastructure such as bike lanes, cycle tracks, sidewalks, multi-use trails as well as quiet streets that provide a safe, comfortable experience for cyclists and pedestrians. Safe crossings for pedestrians and cyclists at barriers such as rivers, railways, and busy arterial streets at key locations are also an important focus of the priority Active Transportation networks.
