I just can't see myself doing it. But thats just me. I feel a bit guilty reading your blog in the wintertime since we're blessed with fairly mild winters here in Victoria BC, allthough we have to deal with a lot of rain. But, at the same time I can relate since I grew up in Iceland.Halldorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10985357127775827920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15336507.post-54281348429533273432008-11-11T11:49:00.000-09:002008-11-11T11:49:00.000-09:00Don't get me started about "an intersection where ...Don't get me started about "an intersection where a cluster of campaign volunteers were waving signs for their candidate." They would not get out of the way of the bike path nor intersections, even after yelling at them, so I had to hop and jump over icy bits of land to make it across. After getting back into cycling recently, I picked up a few mags and was not impressed to say the least.EscortRacerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537098102889408151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15336507.post-4145802707560213522008-11-11T08:31:00.000-09:002008-11-11T08:31:00.000-09:00Yeah, what's up with that ad?

Like you said, you just need the right gear and chances are, everything needed is probably already in your closet.<BR/><BR/>My neighbors may think I'm crazy when I head out in the freezing rain or snow ... but I get to work safely and, in some cases, quicker than if I'd driven. My suggestion to the curious is to just try it.Warren Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494108482705267151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15336507.post-5584471994367411632008-11-10T20:48:00.000-09:002008-11-10T20:48:00.000-09:00Ha Ha!You found an actual bicycle article sandwich...Ha Ha!<BR/><BR/>You found an actual bicycle article sandwiched in between Bicycling's Hummer ads?Jeff Moserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13198489612535782394noreply@blogger.com
