I bailed.
I didn't end that sentence with "out", so I cannot be accused of being an enabler to those who drove the economy off a cliff.
I bailed.
Yes, I admit it. I've commuted through rain, snow and ice within the past week. Yesterday, after administering a final exam, I thought I could get home before the sky oozed its contents like a Slurpee machine all over the streets. Except, of course, there wouldn't be any cherry or pina colada flavors.
Well, the darkening clouds started to dump slush on us almost as soon as I started pedaling. After thee blocks, needles of horizontal sleet wove the icy foam through sleeves of concrete--and directly into my eyes.
Some like the cold. Some of those people like the snow; others don't mind the rain, or even sleet. But I have yet to meet anyone who likes to experience--let alone ride a bike through--all of them at the same time. That, of course, is a way of saying I encountered my limit and took the N train the rest of the way home.
What is (are) your meteorological limits for cycling? Or do you not have any at all?
