i started bike commuting in November of last year and promised to push myself through the winter as much as i could bare. i stopped checking the temps when i started seeing the daily lows were going to be less than 20 degrees.

i just knew, IT'S COLD!

the temperatures didn't bother me as much as losing the shoulder to snowbanks. usually the ice doesn't stick around for that long in this city.

i found a neoprene ski mask was essential for the winds on the bridge.

last winter was unusually cold by new york standards, so i'm hoping i'm more than prepared for this year already.
