I've been a reader of the blog and forum for a couple of years, but these threads always make me want to join. My new commitment to riding through winter for the first time prompted the push to register.
So far I've found that biking below freezing is much easier than waiting for a bus, with the exception that my lungs get really angry if I have to stop for traffic lights at the top of a hill. I've started taking a bus to cross the river/hill portion until I can figure out a good inhaler/balaclava/etc strategy that works.
I know it's almost December but I wanted to jump in after writing imaginary posts here since summer! :)
