That is my guess...blizzard February...getting ready. I mean, if not, what kind of summer are we going to have?

The bicycling- photography connection seems pretty common.

Sometimes I wonder if it is about an affinity for the man-machine interface (usually you folks are pretty computer-savvy, and play at least one musical instrument as well) or about having an insatiable need for visual input (riding a bike satisfies this craving like no other pastime.)

Thanks for the kind words on the photos. I have multiple passions. One is bicycling. Another is photography. Each supports the other. I always have a camera with me when I bicycle, and my position on a recumbent trike makes the photography much easier. It is a pleasure to share and a joy that your appreciation and motivation follows.

You pretty much nailed it. I was a classsically trained artist and crave constant visual stimulation. A bike ride adresses my visual addiction perfectly. The camera addresses my art cravings.

Flurries in the nudie eyes this A.M.  Not bad but I have to act on the suggestions offered these past few days and weeks.  Southbound on Lincoln, intersection of Lincoln, Belmont and Ashland.  Cars at the curb, blinkers going, they turn onto Belmont, great.  Car in the center lane, no blinker, right turn onto Ashland, not so great.  I'm just glad to see some of this developing in advance.  Grateful for no contact!

P.M. commute was fine into the wind, bring on the 40's F!

 

I did. My first ride to work in about 3 weeks. And that headwind elicited more than a few four letter words from me this morning. I can handle cold, rain and snow. But, man, I hate the wind.

traded in my buff for the smart wool gaiter. im much happier now! this mornings ride was pleasant, a bit rushed, but pleasant.

We haven't had much weather cold enough for me to really need the neck gaiter, but if you're happy, I'm happy.

That wind was tough this morning, but at least it wasn't very cold! Everyone I saw on the LFT this morning seemed to sail right past me, but I made it to work, eventually only about 10 minutes later than usual. I love how peaceful it is out there right now.

In the event you want to waste 15 minutes of your life, I bought a Go Pro for snowboarding and wanted to try it out beforehand, so I took it on my commute this morning....
