What to do with a bICICLE?
Ah, day one of 3 days off. Awoke at the crack of noon. Cold as hell out still. Teen highs. Maybe break 20 by Monday. Yippee skippee.

So that rain the other day and subsequent cold has completely frozen the bike (not the scoot, that's covered, you think of trying that Chad?). Now I have an idea what Chad goes through with his scoot. Cables are frozen in the lines, both brake and shifter. The gears are too, mainly in the shifter arm. Brake levers, not working. Saddle, heh heh, FROZEN SOLID. So much for gel technology and comfort.

So I'm gonna bring it in for an hour or so. Gotta run some errands and grab some lunch, and I'd rather freeze and be a little warm on the bike than freeze waiting for the bus or walking down the street. Took only one winter to figure that out. People at work think I'm crazy when I ride, and I think it's stupid to freeze waiting for a bus or train. I can literally get to work in the amount of time it takes to just wait for a bus.
