Sunday Scribblings #74 -A winter tale

  1. Wow, so you bike in the winter, very inspiring! Do you need special tires? 'Often' you return to find your bike gone? That is horrible! Love the bike deep in snow!

    Great post.

  3. Beautiful pictures and you really captured your passion. My father lives in Toronto - he moved there from Calgary because the weather would be better - doesn't seem it from your pics!
