Tom Babin: Frostbike (2014, RMB Rocky Mountain Books)

The bicycle is fast becoming a ubiquitous form of transportation in cities all over the …

This has changed my perspective on winter, period, let alone winter biking.

Fair warning: Some parts of the book veer into toxic masculinity and perceptions od gender in a way that feels gross to me. For example, he talks about his feelings while riding a purple "girls" bike, and uses "whimpiness" more often than I preferred. His intention is to challenge conflating strength and winter, but his words still felt a bit yucky to my perspective.

That said, those passages are few and far between, and what remains is a good reflection on how we can rethink limits of what we can do during winter months in ways that let us stay physically and mentally fit.
