minus-squareFranklinlinkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-21 year agoHave other people had good experiences using these in Canada?
minus-square@NOT_RICK@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoI would imagine that’s highly dependent upon where in Canada you are.
minus-squareFranklinlinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoI’m in NL which is not super bike friendly. Essentially if you want to use these you have to ride on the same road as motorists which they don’t take kindly to. Still thinking about it though
minus-square@CanadaPlus@futurology.todaylinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoI’ve seen them around, even in the middle of Prairie nowhere. Not in the winter much though. I haven’t gotten the chance to try myself.

But biking in the snow should not actually be a problem in Canada. It apparently used to be very common. See this video: Not Just Bikes - Why Canadians Can’t bike in the Winter (but Finnish people can)
