To my knowledge,that is the coldest commute I've ever taken.<br /><br />That morning, I had two shots of brandy before I got on the bike, and I also added some to my Thermos of coffee.<br /><br />I don't know whether I'd do it today. It was about thirty years ago, long before I started taking estrogen and a testosterone blocker. I think I could endure more cold in those days than I can now.<br /><br />I have respect for anyone who rides to work when he or she could have chosen not to do so.Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-53252560878525005692013-01-12T13:17:39.491-08:002013-01-12T13:17:39.491-08:00Hmm below zero.Hmm below zero.DANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150660041208633962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-27193705193144714642013-01-11T15:34:35.542-08:002013-01-11T15:34:35.542-08:00I think I'm good down to -2F; the lowest North...I think I'm good down to -2F; the lowest North Texas temperature since 1900. Below that, I suspect I'd consider taking a vacation day and relaxing in front of the fireplace.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-80160305331779372372013-01-11T15:08:00.289-08:002013-01-11T15:08:00.289-08:00I agree with you, other places in the World have i...I agree with you, other places in the World have it much worse! So far this year I don't think it has been too cold to ride. It's been pretty darn cold on some days, especially at night, but if you bundle up and dress right, you're feeling good!Ezrahttp://nymblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
