Nearly hung the bike up for the year when I discovered a front flat late Monday night...Turned out to be very slow leaking tube that had gone flat since I hadn't ridden since last Thursday. Replaced the tube and continued my quest Today...should turn 5000 miles for 2010 on the way in tomorrow. Not sure if I will continue after that....I guess if the snow holds off there is no reason not to continue biking. My 17 mile road commute still seems too far & risky for riding along side cars contending with the snow...But...on the other hand...I do enjoy riding my bike to work.
