This has without question been an odd winter. The temperatures and snow have been fluctuating daily…and somewhat extremely (I think). Yesterday it was frigid, for example, but today it is warm and rainy; tomorrow the temp is supposed to drop again and bring with it more snow. This is something like the third time thisContinue reading “Wet…but a nice short ride”

And I Say Again….Brrr
The above photo is a screen-shot of my computer just before I left for work this morning…the thermometer app is displaying that it is 1 degree Fahrenheit (-17C). Yikes. I realize that much of the country, and even the world, has been experiencing a colder-than-normal winter (opposed to last year’s hotter-than-normal summer) but that isContinue reading “And I Say Again….Brrr”

Plus de Neige
No I do not have a filter on the camera…it was snowing and blowing so hard today it was difficult to see across the street. This makes it very difficult to ride a bike…and even if one did venture out it would be unsafe on the streets because of low visibility. I don’t get veryContinue reading “Plus de Neige”

A New Day
6:58am, Buffalo, NY. 1.14.11…I love the colors of this time of day in the winter, the sky and the snow seem to glow.

Buffalo, New York 8:01pm 1.11,11
As copied from a local TV station website: Winter Weather Advisory for all of WNY. Travel conditions are expected to worsen across the region as a winter storm bears down on the area. I knew I should have purchased studded snow tires for my bike.

A Cold and Snowy Ride on the Mundo…and a few things I saw and experienced.
This past week I’ve had off work (have to go back tomorrow…not looking forward to it) and because of the very cold weather that has returned I’ve been in a sort of hibernation mode and have only using bikes for very short rides (and have been using my truck more than I like). At anyContinue reading “A Cold and Snowy Ride on the Mundo…and a few things I saw and experienced.”

2 Bikes, 2 Short Rides, a Snowy Day, and a Change in Road Conditions
This has been a very odd winter in this region…the month of December was frigid and snowy, then it warmed up. Around new years it rained for three days and all the snow melted, and now it’s cold and snowy again. I’ve been riding the Mundo regularly again because of the lack of snow andContinue reading “2 Bikes, 2 Short Rides, a Snowy Day, and a Change in Road Conditions”

A Winter’s Eve
It’s unusually warm out tonight for this time of year (41F / 5C); tomorrow or the next day it’s supposed to be as warm as 50F / 10C. The temperatures seem a bit odd but I’m not complaining…after the past month-long cold snap this is a welcome relief. Anyhow, as I left my house thisContinue reading “A Winter’s Eve”

A Starry Night, a Minor Confession, and Bicycle Therapy
The Starry Night by Vincent van Gough. The past four days I’ve had off of work; today was my first day back. And being the holiday weekend I had family obligations and barely used my bike(s)…much to my chagrin I mostly drove these past four days. Come to think of it I was barely outContinue reading “A Starry Night, a Minor Confession, and Bicycle Therapy”
