No sympathy from those of us in TX! High 70's on the ride in this morning - sticky!!! And high 90's forecast for the ride home tonight with a >20MPH "blast furnace" wind out of the south (and right in my grill - SO looking forward to that!)

All that said, I still (almost always) prefer the ride to the drive. Even in the heat. Which is not even really here yet.

Was thinking the other day that I'm pretty fortunate to be able to commute by bike - lots of folks I work with simply have no viable way to get from there to here. The infrastructure here in the DFW metro-mess is simply not conducive to bikes. Big, fast roads, lakes in very inopportune locations, bubbas in pickup trucks, no transit system serving any of the Fort Worth area suburbs, no MUP that I'm aware of connecting two different 'burbs... My ride is through two nice, smallish suburbs with decent roads and generally respectful drivers. I've actually looked at the map with a couple friends trying to help them find a good route in, and it simply isn't there for them.
