The only good I can find in fighting a 21 kilometer per hour head wind on the way into work is having it at my back for the way home, that is if the wind direction stays the same. Minus 9 degrees celsius is a little warmer then yesurday so no need for toe warmers. It was a real joy cycling between Christmas and New Years because the traffic was so tame but somebody left the cage door open and now there are a lot of animals on the street.
