First snowfall of the winter, which means also the first snow plows of the winter. On bike paths, of course. Tomorrow's forecast is full of rain and all this snow will probably be gone very soon, but of course, we can't wait for that here in Oulu 🇫🇮 👌☃️🚲🚶❄️

Riding in the Winter can be really fun. The worst part: road salt & regular maintenance. If a Rochester bike shop offered a Winter Maintenance Plan like this one in MN, where they cleaned & lubed your bike once a week, would it interest you? www.perennialcycle.com/winter-maint... #ROC #RochesterNY
