Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Pffft. Four below this morning. Only safe way to the mailbox is on hands and knees. Even then, traction is limited. Why did I move here?

Damn! We might get snow flurries or a freeze once or twice in the winter, but so far nothing this year.

75 degrees and sunny here tomorrow, no complaints.

As a lifelong Wisconsonian - anything nearly that cold with that humidity is soul-sucking. It was hovering around zero all week here, but dry as a bone.

The fall/spring days where it's ~30 and humid are the worst by far.

It's supposed to be 77 tomorrow and 79 on Wednesday in my neck of the woods. Just thought I'd gloat.

Spring is never far away in the south. Daffodils are coming up around my mailbox. Second week in February and things will start popping here in Georgia.

It's winter here too. Never expected that to happen in January.

There is snow on the ground in every state except for Florida.
