[On a side note, I have to say thanks to the bike commuters from Canada. I couldn't decide if I wanted to ride in the cold and snow here in Minnesota. After lurking on BF and another site, I thought "If they can do it so can I!" Riding in the winter is a piece of cake, I don't know what I was so worried about. I am warmer, even hot and sweaty sometimes, on the bike than I am driving. To those on the bike in Canada: Thank You]
