January 5, 2017: Prague center with snow tires

I started cycling at 07.30, it would only be 10-11 km from Vinohrady to Prosek, but with a few descents and climbs in the snow.


As soon as I started cycling, I knew I had to take some pictures


So glad with snow tires in these days, just great


I could carefully descend to Zizkov, not a single problem with sliding


I know the roads by heart but they look so different in snow


This is really a crazy invention, a bicycle snow tire


Into Zizkov tunnel which leads to Karlin, that;s where the descent stops



Some Czech told me there was a bomb here, I did not hear about it on the news so probably false alarm


All these cars piling up, I could only the white lane at the left


The cycling track was completely empty, so great!


I even made a short movie clip here


Speed was a bit lower than usual, but I was enjoying this


The face of the winter was right in front of me



Over the river



To the most annoying part: crossing Povltavska street. They should seriously change that infrastructure which is just dangerous


Then I climbed up Bulovska and Na Strazi. Climbing uphill was a lot tougher on these tires. I felt it went a lot slower. On the top I found this beautiful view.


:Magnificent view here! This is really the charm of the winter


When I arrived at work, two of my colleagues were outside smoking. When they saw me arrive on bike they were shocked. That was a moment supreme hehe..
