Winter Riding
10 January, 2009
I’m sure that not to many of you are out riding right now. That is to bad. I know, those people out riding in the snow and the cold are crazy, right? Well, if so, I’m crazy. Yep, I’m the guy holding up traffic while I ride in the middle of the lane. Sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll be out of your way soon. Yes, those studded tires really do work on ice. Bikes do in fact work better in the snow than cars do. No, I don’t recommend century rides this time of year, but a trip to the store or to church isn’t at all out of the question. Just bundle up and go slow. You’ll be out enjoying the freedom of two wheels again. Enjoy it. My favorite memories while riding include a very early morning with three inches of snow on the ground, snow still falling, and no traffic. It was beautiful and oh so peaceful. Enjoy the winter. It soon gives way to spring.
