Both, Rich. Thanks for asking. More than 80 percent of the time I stop. Having a recumbent trike makes this a lot easier. I never get off the trike to take any shot you see on these pages.

Really nice shots, Gene. You've probably been asked before, but do you stop and shoot these, or take 'em on the fly?
That would explain the elegant POV :) -- a bit like that from my Street Machine. Your route is prettier than mine to O'Hare, but I do get a "foresty" stretch or two.
rode 21 miles today
Had 5 layers on.
Feet got cold and water bottles froze.
cleared my sinuses out though and I could actually breath!
Yep. Had errands to run. (Time to get me some snowmobile gloves...)
I don't usually bitch about weather but going 12 miles into the 20mph north/west wind today was freaking brutal. Wore 2 pairs of socks and a large pair of gloves over a small pair of gloves and it worked out. After years of winter I figured out wearing 2 of each item of clothing usually works out. Three pairs of anything might be a little too hot even in subzero temps.
I couldn't ride today. 25 degrees plus the wind chill was too much. I struggle with frostbit in my fingers from a very drunken cold weather camping outing. What are the BEST gloves for riding? I don't like those lobster claws because I have trouble controlling my brakes with those.
A rough morning. A lingering cold, combined with strong headwinds and me riding my cargo bike made for a slow commute. At least I'll be flying home.
Cold and windy, but I made it to work in one (frozen) piece.
