Thanks noglider.
A little back story on my knees. About ten years ago I saw an ortho about some severe knee pain I'd been having. He poked around a little and said I had partially torn meniscus in both. Gave me the option of getting scoped or getting cortisone shots. I declined both options at the time. I lived with it for eight years. Two years ago I'd had enough and finally got the shots. Took a couple rounds but I've been mostly pain free since then. But in the back of my mind I'm afraid that because I waited so long and never got it cleaned up that I'm only one bad move away from being back into pain again. It was pretty debilitating at times and I don't want to go back to that.

In other news I commuted into work this morning. With the seat moved back I was putting much less pressure on my arms and hands. I can now pull my hands off the bars pretty easily without having my pelvis move on the seat. It's a much more comfortable position and I had no issues with my hands at all.

Severe weather came through when it was time to leave so I chickened out and had my wife stop by and pick me up on her way home from work. I wasn't to interested in riding into this mess.


To be fair I would have had her pick my up if I wasn't on the bicycle anyway. I don't own a car, only a motorcycle so I would have been out in the elements either way.
