Brrr! That is chilly! It's been in the low 60s or maybe high 50s around here- perfect riding temps!
The thing I've noticed is how much darker it is in the morning. We switched over to the brighter headlights this week. I'm a little concerned about all of the "invisible cyclists" that we've been seeing, those who may not have money for lights, even cheap ones, but who have no other way to get to work than their bikes.

Saturday I had the A/C on, this morning I woke up shivering. Gotta love New England. But I much prefer riding in the cold than in the heat and humidity. Fall riding is the absolute best!

The only thing I like about Fall is the crisp cool weather and I can walk to the train without sweating like a pig!!
As for post Fall, I could leave the oncoming dark days and winter storms

Fall is my favorite time of the year. Crisp air, beautiful foliage, geese....I'm counting the days.

After Ike does his thing, we're supposed to get a cool front that'll knock temps down to the mid-80s. I can't wait!!! Fall is my favorite time of year, too.

Funny, as I was standing in a very crowded commuter train home (it was rainy and very humid here), I've got rivulets of sweat running down my back, and I'm taking deep breaths as I tend to be a tad claustrophobic (very, very crowded train, people touching people, people talking, and talking, spewing all that hot air....don't think the a/c was working), I said the same thing to myself: "I'm sweating like a pig!" Then I thought "Where does that saying come from?" Googled it and apparently pigs don't sweat! Originally Posted by chicago
