dandyhorse magazine is pleased to announce our first ever winter web issue!
This February, dandyhorse magazine will delight your cycling sensibilities with a winter themed issue at: dandyhorsemgazine.com/winter2012
We’re focusing on gear – what to wear, how to wear it and why winter cycling is fun for everyone.
And we mean EVERYONE!
We’ve gone across Canada and beyond to create a great collection for our Bike Spotting files, where we’ve asked cyclists cities across the country what they wear to get around during the drearier months. Cycling makes you feel better – the exercise, the breeze on your knees, the money still in your pocket book for that after work beer (which you’ll be enjoying sooner than those who drive home in gridlock…) Well, there are just so many reasons to keep it on two wheels all winter long and we wanted to show you how many different people are able to do it with ease.
We’re kicking it all off with an Ice Race photo essay from senior dandy Dana Lacey.
We also have:
- photos by Rebecca Baran of rookie courier Ian “Ginger” Christianson about what it’s like to work outside on your bike all winter long
- Photo fashion feature by John Lee with Thieves boutique and art bike by Mark Charlebois
- a feature on global warming and cycling by new dandy contributor Todd Aalgaard with a fresh illo by super dandy Dave Murray
- a feature on best practices in bike lane snow clearance by another fresh dandy, Tyler Wade with photos by Tino Ries and more!
- Plus; the original “Sweater Bike” by Toronto artist Janet Morton
We also have the regular dandy features you’ve grown to love: Heels on Wheels (with Laurie Featherstone) and the Doctor’s Note (with Dr. Chris Cavacuiti, as always)…. AND MUCH MORE!
Thanks to ALL of our sponsors and supporters for helping us promote our first winter issue by hanging our winter web poster in their shops – and for helping make dandyhorsemagazine.com’s first year online a great success! Thank you to Featherstone 2 Wheels Green Delivery for local deliveries.

Our beautiful poster art was created by new dandy Jody Hocs. He’s had his current bike for 5 years now and that’s a long time for a bike in Toronto because of theft and vandalism, so he keeps his bike looking gritty but in good working order. Jody chooses riding a bike most of the time because I makes him feel good, and it’s cheap and simple to maintain.
