The post here make me more optimistic about where I am right now.
Bruce, that's an inspiring story. (Though having grown up in Wisconsin, I can't imagine riding a bike in the winter...) I like that your primary bike is a road bike; it diverges from what most people are doing. But at this point I like all bikes, and don't know what I'll end up with. I like the Big Rove that I have, but I hope in the future to try many, many bikes.
Ok, you all can stop being inspiring now.

I'll be getting on the bike as soon as it stops raining.
