Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

Yesterday I had planned (but not very well) to ride my bike to my dentist appointment downtown. But I haven't yet taken my winter clothes down from the attic, and without my PI Lobster Gloves, my hands would have been frozen--it was a brisk 40F. So I drove--and got a parking ticket
!!
So today's the day to unpack the winter things and get ready to ride! After an extremely lackluster October for very little riding, I've lined up great weekend rides for November, and have rededicated myself to riding for errands during the week. Oh and spinning classes, too. Next week I have to go back to the dentist to get a cavity filled (how I got it, I don't know since I eat very little sugar), so I'll take my bike and avoid another parking ticket. Plus, it's on Election Day, and there will be extra traffic and no parking because my dentist is right near City Hall and that's a big polling place.
Yeah for invigorating winter (such as it is down here)!

I am doing more errands than ever on my bike, and I just LOVE it.
I'm lucky in that I live a half mile from town and from the P.O., and I live 1 1/2 miles from the supermarket, bank and drugstore. So most errands mean a 1-3 mile little bike ride. Plus the 1/4 mile steep hill at the end up to my house. On another thread I've been talking about converting my second bike into a grocery/errand bike. I just LOVE leaving the car at home. My husband does the same thing, doing most of his errands into town on his errand bike, his 10 year old Trek.

Smurf - That's a nice jacket. It's very similar to my Sugoi Firewall Jacket -- MP3 "routing" w/the pocket, etc.
Let us know how warm it is and what you do for layers underneath. You should get one of those "skull" print Buffs to wear w/it. http://www.rei.com/product/691367
Maybe you can pin the Wombats to your sleeves! Enjoy.
