[Rec_bike] Game on!

[Arne Freyberger]

Usually I make it to Thanksgiving before resorting to two layers of 
clothing on the legs and three on the upper body.  Not this year. After 
experiencing a brisk ride home in shorts on Tuesday evening into a 
driving head wind mixed with sleet and snow, I've been layering it up in 
the morning.   25F this morning, actually feels good when you are 
appropriately dressed.   A few of us are still riding,

A sobering piece in the NYtimes this week:

    http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/10/opinion/sunday/is-it-ok-to-kill-cyclists.html?_r=0

The antidote to that piece you might want to read:

  * http://www.amazon.com/The-Immortal-Class-Messengers-Human/dp/0375760245
  * http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Cyclist-Adventurer-Mysterious-Disappearance-ebook/dp/B003TXT5FQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1384477733&sr=1-1&keywords=lost+cyclist


Actually, not really an antidote, since cyclists end up dead in both 
books.   Still, well written books about cycling in two different eras 
and cultures.

Peace,
Arne
