I was sorry to hear about the extreme storms the southeast US had. It was very bad for them.

We had extreme weather, too, but not as horrible. I walked three miles in the cold, heavy rain, while the wind blew hard. I was heartened to see regular bike commuters keep up their routines, just wearing clothing made for the weather. These are not bike nuts (cyclophiles?) like us here on BF. They're just people who choose to cycle to work.
