What increase?
There's less school kids outside than ever, as there was about 2 inches of snow on the road yesterday. That's all gone now, roads are clean, but it's still damn cold.
I guess I was the only one with the guts of going out with a road bike though
Besides that, I know my new year's resolutions have changed quite a bit from 2009. I've decided on riding at least 7000km this year (which also includes pleasure rides, not just commuting). I think I will be able to ride more than that though. Last year was my first year of commuting, which included lots of excuses on not having to ride (rain, cold, not feeling well, et cetera). I've noticed my fitness has improved, I actually decided to ride instead of take the easy way (public transport) a couple of times. I'm feeling good, it's fun, why not keep doing it
