Had to dig out some winter stuff --- @28F when I started out this morning, up to a whopping 30F right now. And had the full lights on too. Wasn't bad at all, but I must say my nice warm bed was soooo hard to get out of this morning knowing it's still jet black outside and supposedly had a frost last night.

However, the 32 lb bulky backpack this morning wasn't fun. I'm doing a one man show on commuting today at an event for college. Several other vendors/groups there that has to do with health, recycling, etc. And me, as a rep from my bike club, for commuting and the darn good health of it all!

Of course I have lots of good literature, including some handy dandy handouts on NYS driving laws pertaining to bicyclists, oh and maybe an article I copied written by a bicyclists, entitled "Open Letter to Drivers" and other good bits of info referencing the health benefits of bicycling as well as the non pollution aspect, etc.

And I have my winter clothing, tools, etc as part of my presentation.

Sure will be glad to go home with a regular sized backpack!
