Has anyone noticed a decline in posts?

[Jiffer]

Is it just me, or are there less posts lately? I assume it has to do with the weather changes in most of the country. Less people are riding, so less people are posting.

It's a typical pattern. Once it gets really cold, activity seems to pick up...particularly in non-cycling.

Yeah, then we start talking about food and emotional stuff all winter.

I'm just extremely busy. This is a 7 day work week for me. We have a very large Fall sale at our shop for ski/snowboard season kickoff.

I also have been doing a local elementary school bike safety program all week. Another co-worker and myself have been discussing bicycle/helmet safety for about 425 elementary students. Monday/Tuesday was an in class session with today being a bike rodeo. Luckily for me, tomorrow's bike rodeo is postponed to next Wednesday due to the strong threat of thunderstorms.

I don't really get to sleep in, but I don't have to be at work until 2pm. I get to chill in the am!! Yea I am looking forward to that!

Yes, and it's not full-on "Wool Weenie" season yet, which takes on an entertaining life of it's own! but here in coastal California, we really don't have an off season for riding unless it rains hard or there is a bad fire. Today was sunny ,dry and 83 degrees. I still love to check in at TE every night. Tokie

I am addicted to TE!! I have met so many nice people on here! I haven’t been posting much lately because I was just in an art show - getting stuff ready for that, and I have an art/talent show coming up in which I will be showing some of my work as well as playing my guitar - so practice music, paint, mat pics, etc. in addition to my full time night job. And I still sqeeze in a 20+ mile ride on my bike every other day. So I have been very busy! And I am still trying to read back through the older posts on TE and learning as much as I can about cycling. I remember living in colder climates and in the winter I would hike as much as I could - anything to be outside in the fresh air - even if it is colder. And I always have my trusty old “dreadmill” for rainy/cold days that I do not wish to get the bike outside.

I'm desperately trying to squeeze in as much as I can of my favourite outdoor activities before the weather turns nasty, and trying to spend less time doing non-essential stuff, like TE - and work

I guess it's up to the southern hemisphere contingent to create more posts..

On the motorcycle forums we call it "PMS" - parked motorcycle syndrome. Post traffic goes up and people's dispositions get crankier.

We need a less sexist and more apropos acronym here!

I can talk to you about Texas all winter. Today we are freezing after a cold front, low hovering around 50 and the high will be a blustery 72! Would you like me to come whine about the low of 35-40 and high of 55 in the true winter?

There is no off season in Texas, I just have been doing non-cycling pursuits.

[crazycanuck]

Mr Silver, i'd be happy to tell you about our lovely yet odd weather here in Western Australia.

Oh, can I also mention I take my doggie to a really cool beach year round. When it's cool outside, she still wants me to venture into the water with her It's not that cold..really..

I'm so happy I get to enjoy summer this year. Last year.. ahgghghg

Yes, hopefully we'll get some snow this winter!

And yeah, also talking WOOL......mmmmmmmmmmm........

I have no heat, and so my fingers are often too cold to type! The heating guy is coming tomorrow to install the new heat pump. Whoopee!
