I didn’t ride in today. It’s not b/c it was misting heavily, or that it was cold, it’s that I was tired after two days. How sad is that? Pushing 40lbs of bike on knobbies is a lot harder than pushing 17lbs of bike on road slicks, but still, two days? I am so not hardcore.

I’ve read that now, as the weather turns cold, and the rain turns to snow and the roads turn to ice, that the vast majority of bike commuters drop out of the game, opting for their cars or public transportation. I won’t make any bold boasts of riding to work every day. Some days it’s just not feasible b/c I have to be in various places around the city during the day, but most days, I will still ride.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone, even those of you who don’t call the third Thursday of November “Thanksgiving”, have a great day all the same!
