Y'Know, I am NOT FOND of Snow...

and yet, it just keeps falling.





I took the Pink Snow bike to the coffee shop, this morning. I just didn't feel like swapping out to the chained-up wheels on the Miami Vice bike, so I took today as a good opportunity to test out the SnowCat-rimmed wheels.







Other than having a City of Denver snowplow spray me down on the way by (i.d. #o630060 CO, and I didn't appreciate your attitude when I pointed out that you could have lifted the plow as you went by me, jerk), I had a good ride.

On the way back, the temperatures had risen enough, and it was sunny enough, that the roads were kinda sloppy. The intersections were very slushy,









and I had to stop a couple of times and push. Other than that, the bike performed really well. (Even better when I remembered that I could shift gears. I'm so used to a fixed gear...)





Even the entry to my own driveway is treacherous.


In a totally unrelated note, my dog got a new chew toy for Christmas:

I'm pretty sure he likes it. (Thanks, Sean!)

Sorry about the word verification. I know you hate it...I hate it, too. But, the Spambots are suddenly coming out of the woodwork, and this is my first line of defense against them.

Anonymous comments are still gladly accepted.

So, all humans are welcome. Spambots can go to Hell.
