What do you do as a bike delivery person in Boston when it’s snow season?

I have 2 answers that question:

1) As a law firm messenger in the late 70s I was strictly on foot. I walked all through downtown Boston in all kinds of weather.

2) As a National Park Service employee just outside of Boston in the early 80s, I commuted to work every day by bicycle from Boston’s Back Bay. It was quite distance, and a pretty significant part of it was on a highway (Rt 9). I made that commute in all kinds of weather. On the highway, in a snowstorm. Didn’t matter. On more than one occasion I would make it to work and find out that the federal government had decided not to open “due to weather”. So I would hop back on my bike and go home.

Good tires and they kept the streets pretty clean in winter. At least that was my experience living there for 7 years and commuting by bike. Riding in the snow is an art.
