HTFU? I had to look that one up.
But strangely enough, I agree, I need to HTFU.

But.... I am not yet addicted to cycling. I like it. It's fun, and I want to keep doing it. I don't commute to work, or store or anything else. It's just a fun new hobby I'm trying to take up. Anything that makes it "exercise" or "work" or anything that makes it "un-fun" will make me not want to do it. Right now, 50deg and windy was enough to chase me off a ride. Next time, it probably won't as I learn to "man-up" or as you say, HTFU.
