I am a Winter Cyclist

Winter biking inspiration from a cyclist in Alaska

Winter weather doesn’t stop Ellie Mitchell from hitting the road (or the trail) on her fat bike. She picked up cycling from her dad, and now she regularly competes against him and other cyclists in the Anchorage winter racing circuit. She learned to love cycling in the snowflakes:

“Sometimes you get out of bed, and its like its cold outside and you’re running late.
You don’t want to bike to school, but you end up getting on your bike anyway,
and you’re about halfway to school and you realize… I really like biking to school.
Its a good way to start your morning.”
