Not that it has anything to do with biking, but . . . the one and only time I drove from St. Louis to Columbia was in a driving snowstorm. It would have been more fun with traction tires but my daughter and I were driving home from Florida.

Back to biking, way to Go! Nothing like expanding your horizons! Get more lights though. It greatly reduces the stress and elevates the fun. I almost feel safer at night with all my lights and reflective gear. bikerHen
