Is This The End?


My goal was to keep riding my bike to work until the snow made my crossing the river impossible and the ride unsafe. On Sunday afternoon I thought the end of my riding days was at hand. The blizzard like conditions and the cold air to follow made me think it is time to store my bike and start going to work on foot or on the bus.


Now it is Tuesday and my hope is restored. The mild front moving through will keep me biking for a while. Biking seemed like hard work at first. Now it has become a sought after pleasure. I have lost some weight. The cardio workout has improved my stamina. The trip home from work is a stress reliever. I look forward to using my bike to get around town.


How late do you commute? Is snow and ice a problem?
