Kudos to Bicyclist in Madison

8 degrees Fahrenheit today and I see a commuter biking on Fish Hatchery. I admire the dedication.

You're a stinking wussy.... I ride 6 miles everyday in every weather (currently 2 degrees F).

It's not that difficult in cold weather. The only thing I have to do is take off my glasses so the
breath from my scarf-bound head doesn't fog 'em up.

I admire anyone who bikes on Fish Hatch, regardless of weather. Or I think they are insane.

I'm commuting to work tonight. -19C [-2F] according to the weather channel - with a windchill of
-24C [-11F]. It's definitely a three layer night: two layers of socks/sweats plus a nylon
windbreaker shell, ski mask, mitts.

Just have to think warm thoughts.

remember you make your own windchill and dress for that. Me I was complaining that -9 is too warm I
like it better around -19 and colder as my gear is better suited to that and I alway overdress for
the warmer weather.

Wow -- and I was complaining about 12ºF weather the other day. I'm still biking 15-20 miles a week
in this weather! Glad to know I'm not alone!!!
