You've made my day (night?). I've managed to miss only 3 days of bike commuting this winter due to weather and this was a tough winter up here- but I feel like the Rodney Dangerfield of bikers- "I don't get no respect." People that know me are so used to me biking every where that I don't get quite as much attention for it as I used to- and I used to claim it didn't matter- now I realize it does! So thanks, yes, it is a ROUGH commute- especially when it starts getting cold. But the truth is I love it.

Now comes the time when bikers start appearing every where on my commute and I wonder why the seas don't part as I come riding along!- I want to wear a sign that says, "I rode all winter. Get out of my way!" Unfortunately, it earns me no special privileges so I appreciate your comment.

To anyone that commuted all winter in a snowy, windy, icy, bitter, salty, sandy, potholed, slushy, slippery, freezing, dark, mess- BRAVO!!!! WE did it! And now it's almost spring!
