Then the days started to get shorter and pretty soon if you're going to bike to work and back, you're going to be doing it in the dark. So I bought a good set of lights and another rule fell by the wayside.
As the seasons changed the new rule was that since I didn't mind the cold so much I'd keep riding but not if there was snow on the ground, that would be too treacherous.
This morning I left for the gym around 5:45 am.
Yes it's my "go anywhere, do anything freedom machine" but there are limits!
I started to slip and slide and to think, "what kind of fool rides a bike in this shit, I should go home and get back in bed", but pressed on.
Talk about "taking the lane", on some stretches of Gerrard I had to ride between the streetcar tracks because the rest of the road was too slippery. When I heard the rumble approaching from behind, had to pull over and figured I'd capture the moment for posterity.
Came close to losing it a few times, but got there. I hesitated outside though and thought that if all I did was turn around and ride back home that would be a good 40 minute cardio day. But what the heck, I was already there, so inside I went.
