The below-zero temps and double-digit-below-zero wind chills of February can make the annual Winter Bike Week a hard sell some years.
But this year? As we head into the second year of social distance and Covid precautions? Plenty of folks are already taking to the trails on their fat tire bikes - now the trick is reminding them to take advantage of the nice temps (before Saturday, that is) and walk or bike to work or maybe just to run an errand or two.

Winter Bike Week Kicks Off With Bike Tune-ups
Zeitgeist’s Winter Bike Week has begun.
January 30, 2021
DULUTH, Minn. – Zeitgeist’s Winter Bike Week has begun. As part of the festivities, Northlanders were able to come to Continental Ski and Bik today for free bike tune-ups and take-home treats. There was also a kids helmet giveaway through Safe Kids Northeast Minnesota.
“Gearing it towards people who aren’t necessarily always biking throughout the winter and making it a little bit more accessible and kind of helping people learn what they need and what they can do to make biking in the winter more easy and doable for their day-to-day lives,” said Stevie Twining, the community development coordinator for Americorps.
