It was well below 15 degrees Fahrenheit here tonight, but the recent snow (slight and shabby) had been melted or sublimated away and left no ice on the ground. So I rode five miles through the cold on my bicycle just to defy it, and got away with it. My big toes were so cold when I got home, but I just had to wear my warm coat indoors for an hour to warm them up.

I am not a winter biker and have no real intentions of being so, but I can deal with either temperatures like this with no ice under my wheels, or ice under my wheels when the temperature is high enough to be melting it. Tonight was the former, so I rode.
