I'm amazed that people stop commuting by bike when it's 60- in my mind, the 60s are almost the perfect temperature for bike commuting. I can handle it in the mid 90s with high humidity and below freezing (as long as it isn't snowy on the roads), but 60 seems almost ideal to me. It was in the mid 50s here this morning, so I wore bike shorts and a sleeveless running t-shirt- and I was definitely completely comfortable.

That made me laugh. There's a good chance we (my wife, our baby who is due in April, plus our greyhound and our cat) will be moving to Houston in June or July. I'm more worried about learning to deal with the heat in the summer than dealing with the cold here in the winter. It's easy to add more layers, but common decency requires that I only take off so many.

With the tank full and a long weekend, I felt really strong for the climb up Burnaby Mountain this morning. I didn't feel like stopping when I got to the top, but alas, I have to pay the bills.
I'm going to guess then that you work at SFU?
