That's why I'm in Florida, so i don't have to deal with the snow and cold weather. I'm a woos when it comes to cold weather, especially when there is wind.

I can't manage the moment of silence, because I'm:
ROLLING
ON
THE
FLOOR
LAUGHING
MY
ASS
OFF
!
Maybe it's just because I'm 'lower income', but the thought of driving to a ride just doesn't compute; of course, I don't go to out-of-town venues, either, I get all the workout I need locally.
I can understand driving to riding venues that are further away (example: living in Indiana and going to ride the Maah Daah Hey Trail), but IN TOWN......?

They might have driven this, a 1911 Pope Hartford.
My grandfather had one, he used it as an SUV in Wyoming, ferrying hunters, geologists and anyone else who wanted to motor in the backwoods.

Funny! But if a stationery bike is the only bike I can ride, and I don't have one (or a trainer) at home, then what? I'll settle for the stationery bike while I study or read or watch a bit of mindless TV, and then switch to an eliptical or treadmill, and back to the bike if there's time. My commute to the gym is an easy low-traffic drive, a 10-minute trip by car or 30-minutes by bike. And no I don't look for the closest parking space... I drive to the furthest corner and walk --- unless it's pouring rain!

That reminds me of the time when I went to the gym, I pulled into a parking space, got out and was walking to the door. Behind me some guy starts screaming that I took his spot, and he had to park further from the door(by about 20 feet). insane.
