arriving at my destination i was greeted with "you're a fucking mental case", and dirty look from the caretaker as he watched me drip sludge all over his lobby. if these places would provide adequate bike storage it wouldn't be a problem.

but cycling when it's snowing is not cool. the roads covered in slush, spraying out from underneath every car's wheels. deteriorating brakes, slipping wheels. freezing ears, snow in eyes. calf muscles aching. it's just dangerous, and not even in a fun way.

cold i can handle, but not this. ]]>http://www.emoware.org/cycling-blog/#22.11.2007emoware@gmail.comi've not really stopped cyclinghttp://www.emoware.org/cycling-blog/
halfway through october i came into possesion of a monthly TTC travel pass, so that cut down on my road adventures somewhat. then i went back home for a while. now i'm back and it's cold and dark. but i'm determined to not let that put me off cycling.

cycling in the dark is now unavoidable, but i'm refusing to cycle on main roads when i do. they're too poorly lit and way too dangerous. i have trouble seeing the cyclists with the most expensive and impressive arrays of bike lights, nevermind the kamikaze cyclists with no lights. what is wrong with you? so these roads are out of the question. and if there's no alternative i'm going to have to ride the sidewalk. come fine me officer, at least i'll still alive.

and if you're going to point out the number of accidents due to people cycling on the sidewalk, don't bother. if i'm in accident from cycling on the sidewalk at least it's my fault. not the fault of some idiot driver. that i can handle. ]]>http://www.emoware.org/cycling-blog/#21.11.2007emoware@gmail.com
