First bicycle commute in over a month. It's been too easy to take the bus on the few days that I actually go to the office. We had a ton of snow fall a couple weeks back, but nothing much since. By now, the main roads and trails are all plowed (is "plowed" not a word? Chrome is telling me it's not a word), and the residential areas are mostly packed (some soft spots though).

It was 5C/41F this morning, so I didn't really have an excuse temperature-wise. Ride was decent, but I might try some better-travelled roads for the trip home to avoid the soft snow in the quieter residential areas.

While riding through some soft snow this morning, I contemplated the value of a fat bike, but I figure I don't ride enough in the winter to justify the cost, and getting a fat bike wouldn't necessarily make me ride more often. But then, lo and behold, in the rack where I park my bike, there was a nice Trek fat bike that didn't even look like it was locked up. A gift for me, perhaps?
