stopped and voted on my way home last night - dressed in my bikie gear. Me and the old people volunteers! We had a blast! have you tried wearing heavier gear on the non-curb side? I agree with you - sounds like the curb is helping to "curb" the elements while the traffic side is more exposed. You could just ride on the American side of the road when the foot gets to cold! (just a thought - maybe start a traffic revolution!)
