Bikes: Too many to list comfortably

This morning was freaking cold.

I actually wore 90% of my winter cycling clothes: tights, shorts, base layer, jersey,
winter cycling jacket, half finger gloves (should have been full) and I should have
placed plastic bags over my socked feet as my cycling shoes are geared for summer.

Not sure what temp it was when I left, all I know was on the return leg it was 41
degrees with winds gusting to 28 mph and it was freaking blustery - windchills
were at 34 degrees at the time I concluded the commute so it was definetely
cold. I need to prep my winter cycling booties for sure.

My bike has a bladed front fork and seatpost and the wind grabbed that thing
like a kite, I was riding at an angle to the road and nearly flew up in the air.

Sheesh.
