I recieved my bike mid November in Ottawa. Within a week, we got our first snow storm.
It has gotten me to work after this last storm with 25cm+ of snow ended... bit hairy jumping plow ruts and riding in traffic lanes, but I made it in record time.
My ride in worst road conditions of 2022, was equal to the wait times outside, I would have to do to bus to work, and got there with my gear, and saved 25 or more minutes (no idea how backed up busses were).
After 450km on this Cruiser, with tools and gear for work 19km each way, I can say, other than adjusting brake calipers, and a few minor glitches (mostly user error), bike still rides and looks like it's new!
I recommend heavily saturating shifter cable and derailleur with winter grade grease before riding in slush on sub zero days... like any winter ridden bike.
I've enjoyed every minute of winter rides to work, and getting about for Christmas shopping and groceries.
