I've sampled the road burn available to wrong-side-up bike riders in the middle of the Phoenix Summer, and I have no desire to repeat the experience. That being said, I'd way rather be burning hot than freezing cold.<BR/><BR/> I really enjoy your writing, keep up the good work.<BR/><BR/>jtjthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198986514692684320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15336507.post-86561276510610171782008-05-23T21:26:00.000-08:002008-05-23T21:26:00.000-08:00JT, I commuted in Phoenix when I lived their in th...JT, I commuted in Phoenix when I lived their in the 1980s. I'll now prefer braving the ice in winter and moose in summer.<BR/><BR/>My biggest fear in Phoenix wasn't falling -- it was falling and being unable to move off the hot pavement!

I live in Phoenix and bike commute. Tuesday afternoon it was 110+ on my ride home. This morning it was 50 and raining on my ride in. That's a 60 degree delta in 3 days. Not exactly "fire and ice", but close enough for me.jthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198986514692684320noreply@blogger.com
