I hope that as the winter weather dissipates and we pick up our neglected bikes again that we will see a pendulum swing in the content of our posts.
There is definitely a seasonal aspect to it all. This has been my third winter on TE, and it seems there is always less biking posting and more personal issues/introspective posting during the winter. See how few Daily Ride reports there are these days. Everyone gets more upbeat in the Spring and we all spend more time on our bikes and less time pondering the meaning of life.
