Yes, I started when most folks won't even consider riding.<br /><br />We are currently in a cold snap, and it has been in the mid to high 20's. The weather even threatened snow (it did not snow, which bummed me out. I was looking forward to it). <br /><br />Kent, thanks for the inspiration. The youtube film of you and your "It's junky, but I love it, and it gets the job done." bike is always motivating.<br /><br />Mike Nevin<br />Sacramento, CA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-76546533919496896802009-12-09T14:28:58.789-08:002009-12-09T14:28:58.789-08:00Kent nice write-up and nice new bike!
