During the day, temperatures rose to +5, and at night they dropped to -10-15. Thanks to good snow removal this year, all the roads in the city are dry. I went out on my bike several times. Everything is fine, if it weren’t for 10 km next to a crowd of trucks to the city from my area ( *opa is looking for adventure and increasingly insistently suggests: “Hey, do you want to ride a little?!” Well, I also finished at about zero degrees. You probably understand that will happen next
