I was told I was crazy at least 10 times before 7am today. Anybody else commuting this week?

I commute by bike year-round with very few exceptions:
1) The University is closed because of snow (happened 2 days last year)
2) The temperature drops into or below the negative teens. Negative 12 degrees is cold, but negative 13 is ungodly. (BTW: this doesn't count wind chill. Wind chill is for sissies who don't own a balaclava. :0 )
3) Penguins move into the duplex next to my house.

I'm commuting this week, yeah. Looks like I'll even get four workdays, since we got some new bikes in that need built & tuned. It was certainly brisk this morning, I was glad to have my new pogies even for my short little ~10-minute commute.  |

Yes I rode, yes similar comments. 16miles return trip. I think I need some pogies. Wonder if they come in drop bar configuration.
btw studded tires are very nice for the ice. I tried them out on the puddles ( ponds) at riverside state park. I only had to worry about breaking through the ice and doing a header.

I'm definitely still riding to work. At 1-mile door to door I wont win any distance prizes.

Wow, it was 50° in my bedroom this morning. I barely need a refrigerator at the moment!
