Holy snow, batman! (Though I kinda can't wait for the snow to come... I know I'll be eating those words in a couple months though )

7C this morning, but very misty/cold with the damp in the air... The cold I'm getting over made me fairly out of breath initially too.

Mini-rant:

Almost everyday I get some JAM pulling into my lane almost side swiping me (van last week, cab today) to try and avoid the left turning car in front of them... My lane for the most part is all parked cars, so I have clear use of the extreme left of the lane out of the doorzone, and the full lane in the longer gaps between cars/intersections - I mostly travel at traffic speed or more, as the flow gets slower toward the core of downtown.

It's just they never seem to check their damn mirrors. What happened to Mirror, Signal, Manouevre?

Luckily I expect it, and it gives me chance to scream a "HEY!" at them which releases tension

/Mini rant.

Despite the weather and horrible driving, I still love riding my bike.
