NYC & Sac-town, from the sound of it, appears I should be really happy to be living here in the good old rust belt where the people know how to stay indoors and inactivity rules the day.

I pass up maybe two or three riders on my 27 mile commute -- and that's in the summer, on my afternoon ride home. OK, so I am exaggerating a tad, I may pass four or five, not counting the roller bladers and dog walkers. This time of year, I often wish that there was someone to pass.
