Hotter than a pistol coming home. Mild going in. Everyone says, "Do you still ride your bike in this hot weather?" The same ones who six months ago were asking, "Do you still ride your bike in this cold weather?" And three months ago, "Do you still ride your bike in this wet weather?" One answer fits all, in my best Tom Cruise sincerity imitation, "Oh, yeeaahh!"
The bike and I have over 5K since last Labor Day, when I bit the bullet and said, "No more dependence on mideast--or any other--oil!" On my 63rd birthday I began riding 32 miles a day (16 one way) to and from work, and I won't go back unless I'm flat on my back. I wish I had started 10-20-30 years ago.
