Hebe,
In the summer my bf and I can walk to the grocery store. Its a little less than a mile. But its so fun and liberating to be able to do errands without a car! Its nice to slow down a little. I'm glad you still went out when it was that cold! Now I feel like a wuss for not doing it when its only 45F. I enjoy reading your posts because you're always so excited and clearly your bike adventures make you very happy!
