I opened up the treadmill yesterday and I have switched over...
... The bikes are staying warm and safe and clean in the basement instead of out in the snow and the cold (and, by the way, so am I...)
Really? The girls at work keep hounding me to show them my bike shorts!

Just think. You're more than half way here.

Not from me, but I'm sure someone will post--

Most excellent! Been riding my Gunnar fixie since I bought it in 2000. While it does take some practice, you will get comfortable on it,
probably faster than you think. One of the great joys in my life is a ride on my fixie on a warm summer evening. If there is some haze in the
air, that makes it even better. When night does come, everything looks like the set of a Ridley Scott movie. I DO like the way that guy makes a
movie.

Today is one the rare Thursdays I have to make the Louisville Loop 50 and I didn't go because it was too cold. I bought baselayer woollies yesterday and even set out my cycling clothes. I'm such a wuss. Don't anyone talk to me.
