OMG, so great photo! It`s amazing!!

I really hate cold weather( But I motivate myself for winter riding by photos (http://wilderness.org/america%E2%80%99s-20-prettiest-national-parks...), articles (http://bestadviser.net/features/top-10-reasons-to-be-fond-of-winter...) and videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRP5BehtrJs, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LorRn9NHfiI). It`s a kind of challenge for me: “I`m one with the wind and sky”, but I`m still on my bike, I can do it not worse than in summer!) I feel sooo cool at that moment))) But sitting at home and drinking hot tea after riding is absolutely better.

i used to ride through the winter and also delivered mail during the day, then ride home.  I retired from my job just recently because it ruined my knees, but my doctor said keep riding.  I was one of 4 people back in 2011 Blizzard to make it to work, riding my bike behind a plow,  

 

 I couldn't open the garage door too much snow but i could lift my bike into the trucks tire grooves.  I saw many fascinating pictures from my own eyes each day, that couldn't have been seen driving a car.  I retired the Post Office so i could keep riding my bike.  4 years of winter through winter cycling is the only way!!!

From yesterday and today:
