Thanks for the reminder- I've ridden all week without a bike pump! I took it with me on my road bike. I'm going to go put it back on my commuter right now-

good, that's done.

This morning misty, wet, cool and very strong wind in my face- probably steady 25 mph wind all the way in. Met another commuter on the bike path and we commiserated about the wind. (Deep down inside we were loving it.) The ride home was cold with icy snow coming down making a slick thin coating on the pavement. The studded snow tires ate it up. My winter gear keeps me perfectly warm, perfectly dry, I'm very visible with lights and blinkies and reflective vest- couldn't be happier.
