Rain :(

[kfergos]

Terrifying :eek:

[buddha_bellies]

I'm bikin' in the rain. Just bikin' in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I bike down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just Bikin',
Bikin' in the rain

[uk elephant]

leapfrog (I was leapfroging a tractor...I'd pass on the downhill then get caught on the uphill and pass again on the downhill....did get a smile and wave the last time though)

[Biciclista]

brisk!

[Grog]

Today's might be WINDY. Currently there are gusts as fast as 70 kph (45 mph approx?) Dunno what I'll do...

[coyote]

Sunrise!

Boy was it awesome this morning, comparable to the our great sunsets.

[Aggie_Ama]

Today's might be WINDY. Currently there are gusts as fast as 70 kph (45 mph approx?) Dunno what I'll do...

I guess you are not riding with a tail wind? Then it would be SPEEDY!

[kfergos]

DONE.

As in, is this week DONE yet?? :o

[jobob]

Foggy!

So foggy that I wimped out on riding in today :o

[malkin]

Wise isn't wimpy!

[Biciclista]

sunny!

[Grog]

I guess you are not riding with a tail wind? Then it would be SPEEDY!

This morning it would have been a headwind. :eek:

I actually didn't ride in the end because winds of that speed mean that there's big douglas fir branches flying around all the way to work. I took the bus. But now that it's calmed a little (40 kph winds) I wish I had my bike to ride home. That would have been wicked!!!

I didn't ride neither. Out at the airport, there was a wind warning of 50 - 70km/hr wind. I was wondering if you rode today too :o Pretty crazy weather. And I remember riding with you at 20km/hr wind and I almost blew into traffic over the bridge :eek:

Carpool today for me.

[shootingstar]

Haven't been bike commuting..for awhile. And today was warmer...it wasn't as windy where I would have been riding. :o

(That's why I didn't enlist myself on this thread for the commuter challenge. Getting away from a noisy, muddy construction site in the winter, with rain..the last thing I want is to ride in pouring rain after walking, taking bus, commuter train.) I do get home faster without cycling, in truly crappy weather).

But today was no excuse ..except another excuse :cool: 2 meetings that induced more stress...there's nothing like a feeling where one's future actions/decision will mean thousands of dollars to an organization. Night riding in the dark even with lights, requires more concentration...and abit more tension for me where I ride since it means being more hyper alert in wooded park areas, etc. I didn't really need that feeling/tension tonight.

I can only console myself that all my walking to commuter stations, bus stop round trip is a form of exercise...just commute walking alone adds up to 1 hr. per workday.

[SouthernBelle]

Friday: Nonexistent.

[kfergos]

Studded.

As in, studded tires. I finally caved and put 'em on. Goodness, but they're loud and slow! It took me an extra 5 minutes just because of that. But now winter can happen all it wants and I'm prepared.

[Biciclista]

sorry two:

icy windshields.


should have ridden my bike.

[divingbiker]

Fantastic!

[7rider]

Jealous.

Expected cold rain this p.m., so I'm on Metro. :(

[kfergos]

FRIGID.

According to the NOAA weather, it's 8°F (-13°C) with a windchill that brings it to -4°F (-20°C) :eek:. This is a personal coldness record for me.

[suzieqtwa]

Got a flat ,and had to walk... :mad: Im not fast enough to change a tire on the street in the cold.

[alpinerabbit]

Screech!

I had to do a sliding stop today.

I slammed on the brakes because a car was headed perpendicularly towards the curb next to the pedestrian/bike path I was riding. Never mind there's a strip of grass, so he never intended to come across - I still thought he was headed straight at me. (Good morning!). So I came to a screeching halt, kinda proud I can.

Turns out he was only parking his car there and in a bit of a sportive driving mood.

Also, haven't ridden in a while because I'm too lazy to fix Ginger and my MTB is too precious for daily commuting. Today I have to be at PT on time.
It was freaking cold but I managed to bundle up so I was toasty.

Sorry that you flatted. What's your one word description?

58.9°F this morning, and here Monday was 8°F. New England weather!
