Think you need expensive gear to bike in the winter? Think again! In this video, I break down the simple, everyday clothing I use to stay warm while cycling in the cold. No fancy winter-specific bike gear—just layers. What do you wear for winter biking?

You don’t need a fancy winter bike to ride in the cold! In this video, I go over the simple setup I use to keep my bike rolling through winter without spending a fortune on special gear. From basic maintenance to a few key adjustments, I’ll show you how almost any bike can do it

Just published in the SudburyStar! Sudbury needs more secure bike parking—especially for people who rely on bikes as mobility aids. Let’s make our city safer and more accessible. Read it here: thesudburystar.com/opinion/letter… #BikeSudbury #Accessibility

Hey everyone! My CBC interview about cycling and disability rights is now live. Check it out here: cbc.ca/news/canada/su… Feel free to leave a comment if you support accessible infrastructure!

Met with @CTVNorthernOnt’s Alana Everson to talk about the urgent need for secure bike parking downtown. Rain or shine, people ride—and theft shouldn't be the price we pay. 💦🚲 #AccessibleSudbury #BikeInfrastructure #DisabilityRights

PSA: My bike is a mobility aid. I’m disabled. I can’t drive or walk far—this is how I get around. It’s legally recognized as a mobility device. Please treat it (and me) with respect. #DisabilityRights #BikeIsMobility

Big thanks to SooToday.com editor Brandon Walker for posing my Letter to the Editor about bikes being mobility aids lawfully and the need for better bike parking after Sudbury .com wouldn't publish a letter on the same subject. sootoday.com/letters-to-the…

When you’re sick of being treated like a 2nd class citizen, you make noise. 8 newspapers, 1 message: accessibility is a right, not a privilige

Some wonder why I contacted 8 Ontario newspapers abut my bike being a lawful mobility aid. Well, this is why. All I wanted was my epilepsy medication, instead I get this harassment youtu.be/MBmcWJeRWRU The Biking Lawyer (Dave Shellnutt)

Once again, I faced discrimination at Shoppers Drug Mart while using my bike as a mobility aid. This isn't the first time, and sadly probably won't be the last. Shoppers Drug Mart Greater Sudbury

Ever wondered what it’s like being pulled on a sled by an electric fat bike? ❄️😂 Hold on tight — this first snow ride of 2025 is chaotic and fun! 🎥 Full 15-min ride here: youtu.be/0GNMTd728bs #FamilyFun #WinterCycling #FatBike #SledPOV #SnowDay

Jan 19. Mid-winter. I biked to Popeyes Canada on my fat bike (my mobility aid). No questions. No pushback. Staff even held the door when the auto doors were broken. This is how accessibility should look.

40cm “Snowmageddon” and they barely cleared anything. No sidewalks. 1 lane roads. Near misses all ride. This is what cycling in this looks like. Full video: youtu.be/kacgmUnldwM
