Oh- and another thing- This is a great group of people that post here. I appreciate all of your opinions and insights, espically for a reative novice as myself (two years bike commuting, a solid 1.5 year full-time). I'm very impressed that there aren't a bunch of far-winged a-holes bashing opinions and thoughts. I've learned a lot from reading what all of you say (albeit too late for my last bike's winter survival!), and I look forward to more opionions, expierences, and views.
