I'm still in...not really fair that Colorado seems to be the only place in the nation without good snow right now, but hey it's good for the commute. Crazy though -- yesterday I fell on a little patch of ice (granted, at a very key place) after weeks of getting through much bigger/scarier sections. Bike's fine, equipment's fine, and despite a sore shoulder and bruised knee I'm pretty fine. Another moment of being grateful for a helmet - it easily took a little knock, when otherwise I woulda had quite a headache at best.

Biciclista - do you have some pics of the new paint job?

Melalvai - I laughed about your "muck protects against muck" theory. I totally get it....in my case though I'm lifting my bike on and off the bus so much that my gloves and other equipment is telling me I better give them a break from muck-land. Didn't get it done last weekend, so this one is key.

I got 2 for 3 this week. I drove today in favor of a social event -- I really need to see some peeps! But my excellent news is that the commuter bus is back from the dead, so I'll be able to keep up the bike/bus through the year at least. Woohoo!
