Brr. Lets start with that. I decided to go for a spin tonight. It's -1 right now, but I thought it was doable. I think I've said this already, but I am on a two week, post-season break before I get back to training. So I thought that an outdoor bike ride would be perfect, and not too taxing.
The 'brr' above comes from wearing gloves that were too small. Most of me was warm enough. I had lots of warm clothes on. My toes (with double socks) were a tiny big cold, but nothing major. Yeah, hand-wise: not so good. I feel like I can't quite type properly yet and I have been home for 15 minutes.
I made in about 10 minutes of the ride when I ran into a by-law officer. Not literally - that would be bad. He stopped me because the front light on my bike was going dim. No problem! I just hand-cranked it a few times and it was okay again. I think re-scotch taped it to my handlebars and I was within by-law regulations, and off on my ride (yes, my advancesd lighting system was a hand-crank flashlight scotch taped to my handlebars) . I couldn't tell if he thought it was funny, or if he thought I was a weirdo. S
I would been pretty pissed if he had given me a ticket. Yesterday, I biked by several people injecting themselves with needles (while standing on the bike path) on my ride home from the disc golf course. One of these two bike path problems seems like it would actually make the bike path more safe.
