Local cyclists bundle up for the Coldest Ride of the Year

Coldest Ride of the Year 3

While many are spending these frigid winter days bundled up inside, some dedicated cyclists aren't giving up. 
CycleWR held their annual Coldest Ride of the Year this afternoon. The event takes place in cities around the world as a means to bring attention to the importance and benefits of cycling. 
"There's alot of people who bike every single day, all year round," Emily Slofstra, Chair of CycleWR, tells 570 NEWS. "This kind of brings some visibility to it. But it's also fun because when you're biking, you're biking alone. Usually during the summer you can pass tons of people on your commute where in the winter it's a little bit lonely at time for some people."
Participants met at Waterloo City Hall and cycled their way to Abe Herb in downtown Kitchener. Cyclists mainly avoided city streets, opting instead to take The Spurline Trail and Iron Horse Trail for most of the route. There was positive reaction to the news that Kitchener City Council will be devoting more money to clearing select bike lanes. 


"We understand the limitations of how many plows and other priority routes that have to be plowed ahead of time, but knowing that this is the route that always get plowed for cyclists, that would be a very positive thing," Hayley Rutherford, a member of CycleWR's Cycling Committee, told 570 NEWS. 

Slofstra had tips for anyone who may be thinking of cycling year-round. She said layers are important, especially on your hands and feet since they won't be moving as much. She said to invest in a pair of goggles to keep your face warm and ensure you have studded tires if you will be taking city roads. 
In response to critics who say cycling isn't a winter activity, Slofstra said her only fear is how early it gets dark. 
"Watch out for people on bikes, because they do it anyways, whether or not you think its crazy."

GRT 2
If you rely on Grand River Transit to get to work, you may want to study up before Monday morning's commute. 
GRT will be changing over 300 bus stop names across Waterloo Region starting on Monday. The change is part of an effort to standardize the system and for "wayfinding purposes", according to their website. 
Some of the noteworthy changes include changing stop names to reference key landmarks. For example, the University/Seagram route will be known as University Ave./University of Waterloo. 

Other routes will see street names added for better wayfinding, such as the current Father David Bauer route. That will now be the Westmount/Father David Bauer route. 

Special weather statement issued, calling for significant winter storm

A special weather statement has been issued for Waterloo Region and much of Southern Ontario.
During the overnight hours and going into Tuesday morning, a winter storm with significant snow, freezing rain, and strong winds is expected to move into our area.


The snow may change to ice pellets and freezing rain in the afternoon, it will turn back to snow by Tuesday night and snow will change to flurries by Wednesday.

The weather agency says the storm system may have a significant impact on travel on Tuesday, as 10-15 centimetres of snow and freezing rain is anticipated.
