I dont really care what my hair looks like or if I look like a dork. 1. i shave my head. 2. I am riding a bike and that will make people think i am dork. I really dont care. I am enjoying my commute far and above someone sitting in traffic in a car.



Being in the SOUth, the coldest i have ridden in has be 27degrees F. I can say that I enjoy not having to scrape the car windows. I have found that one i get moving i warm up pretty good, except my toes still have not dialed that in YET.

Last year was warmer than normal many days. I made a point to drink lots of water during the day and drank a bottle after I got home to stay hydrated. Wearing a jersey and shorts is pretty comfortable in 100 degrees moving throught humidity laden air of North Carolina in the summer. I realize how hot it is when i stop at a light.

I have seen many more bike commuters in the last year and I am thinking that it is because it is easier to move about the city by bike.
