I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I might need to look at getting a larger cargo bike soon!
Also, even with a pre-warmed battery it decided not to turn on for the return trip.
…That means the lights don’t work either! (Thankfully I had my headlight as a backup.)

Winter tires! Most importantly, they make every car safer including to other road users.
They also make winter driving a heck of a lot of fun.
