two ladies: (last night in the snow) - you're not going to ride that tonight are you!

Me: (3/4 of the way home, had stopped to knock some ice out of my brakes) - H&ll yes, I'm moving and they're (the cars stuck spinning out on the hill) not going anywhere!

I also had someone yell something like "for gods sake be careful" - silly man.... it was probably safer out last night than usual.... fewer cars and they were all going very slowly.... Yes, I could slip on some ice and fall if I wasn't careful, but I'm a good bike handler (no I didn't fall down at all). I'm positive that it was safer to not be in a car last night..... I wasn't at all likely to crash into a tree or roll over and if my mode of transportation got stuck, I was not only already dressed to handle the weather, I could throw it over my shoulder until I got to a better spot....
