No, this is not what you think.
This is about riding my bike. On Monday morning, driving to shul at 6 a.m., I saw a guy riding his racing bike. It was no more than 10 degrees and the wind/chill had to be 10 below or more.
I, on the other hand, am like a bear. I hibernate during the winter. I get absolutely no enjoyment out of riding my bike in cold weather. None. In fact, I left my bike in Israel after the Alyn Ride, because I knew that I wouldn't ride it in New York until the spring (who knew how mild the winter would be?) and I knew I would be going back in January.
And, because the weather in Israel was crazy warm during most of my stay, I got to ride on a couple of occasions without even putting on winter biking gear.
I finally lugged my bike back to the States but I won't be riding outside until the temparatures reach 60 degrees or more.
The good news is that pitchers and ctchers report next week. Spring can't be far behind.

Sweet! I have my winter gear too, but this cold snap is just too much for me.
Thankfully, my Dear Wife bought me a trainer for my birthday so I can go nowhere fast. What kind of wheels do you have? I'd say you are a Roadie..

Then again, if you did the Alyn Ride, probably crank 'em out.
