I should clarify that my commute for work is 60 miles per day in Michigan winter weather on top of 10 hour work days. I totally agree I would not be so sad if I were riding right now, but it aint gonna happen... LOL. While I have and will commute to work, daily 4 - 5 hour commuting rides completely in the dark and snow would not be fun, safe or acceptable to my wife
. I will say that I am looking forward to commuting
much, much more this year (weather and current family issues permitting).
It was tough to part with a bike, but I am looking forward to the new one. I was just amazed and pointing out how much a part of me that bike became. Its not like that with a car for me. Riding allows me to think (or not think), breathe and be close to nature. While it may not be for many... in a way, riding can be truly spiritual. Add in the uniqueness of each bike, and there is definitely a relationship built.
Yeah, I'm weird...
.
Ride on!
