Winter is here, I guess.

November 21, 2008 · 3 Comments

It snowed all over my bike this morning, not long after I got to work.  It was very pretty, but I was glad to already be in my office, thinking about my wet seat.  I hope it dries up a little.  I’m not going straight home tonight, and my fenders are crappy.  (New ones on the Xmas list!)

I’ve not been as alone as I have been in years past commuting in the cold, but the numbers of bikes on the racks near where I work are shrinking weekly.  That there’s still bike traffic at all with gas prices going down makes me happy as a warm bike seat.

We missed doing a Halloween ride, and we haven’t gotten together in months.  Are folks still riding into the winter?  Anyone wanna do a short holiday ride, with warm goodies?  :)

    some weatherpeople are calling for the coldest december since 1989, so be prepared for some frigid commutes over the next few weeks.

    I’m trying to ride at least 3 times per week during the cold. It’s tough getting the proper mix of layers down. Worst thing is trying to buy a cup of coffee to go at the common ground with fogged up glasses!

    I love riding in the cold, but I hope it doesn’t get TOO crazy. My fenders are junk until Santa brings me new ones:)
