Vando--That is awesome. I can just imagine you giving your mini clinic at Mickey D's!

 

Today is going to be great. It's going to be 35. I am stoked. I'm hoping to take my first winter night ride to see a show @ Hideout tonight.  I just don't know about getting home. Show is early, but I'll be riding home after 10 tonight. In summer, my ideal time to ride is late at night, but I don't know about winter. If only I could convince a friend to go with me. (Maybe the woman at the counter at McDonalds :)

 

I love this thread. I don't think any of you are crazy. But, crazy for bicycling? You bet!

So yeah, this will be my first official Bike Winter. I have been known to ride during winter in the past, but only sporadically. This year I will give it a legitimate effort. Now, I won't say that I am going to do the 12 miles each way to work, but for errands, going out and getting around the city, I am riding.

 

Today I stopped by my local McD's, and the girl behind the counter was so amazed that I was riding. She asked me a few questions about it and before I knew it I was giving a mini clinic to a small audience of employees and customers! I managed to persuade the one girl to try to ride the mile or so to work a couple of times, hopefully she will give it a try. 

 

Go Bike Winter!

I always say, "How else am I supposed to get to work?"
