    She was very nice and did not get offended at my snotty tone of voice.

    Commute home was awful. Freezing headwind. Blech.
    Does she commute to work by bike or ride at all? Maybe she might be inspired much later.. you never know.
    We're celebrating our fall bike to work week right now. http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=35117
    A winter bike to work week in Canada may not succeed much in many parts of Canada. It would turn off alot people about cycling. Gotta start gentle, warm-cuddly..for many car-centric areas of Canada. At your end of Norway right now, is it much snow?

    Lord, no, she thinks cyclists are insane risktakers She's my prime example of someone who can think up any number of reasons to drive her own car, no matter what the occasion. She'll happily regale me with stories of being stuck in rush hour traffic or not finding a parking space, though...

    Snow flurries in the air, a little slush on the ground in higher areas. I rode studs today, but wish I hadn't. 90 % of my commute is plain asphalt.
    Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
