Oof!

In a recent post I recommended riding "almost as fast as you can" on snow covered streets because momentum is good. That remains true when it is all snow, but as you can see below, carrying bare pavement speed into a patch of snow isn't necessarily recommended...



When I'm losing control, I instinctively drift right, in this case right into a snowbank. I was gonna say it was nice that nobody saw me, but that wouldn't make much sense after posting a video of the event, would it?

Nuthin' Doin'

It is once again Monday, and I once again find myself with nothing to say. Thankfully others are hard at work posting exciting bike-related material on youtube...

Now THAT's a Monday kind of video, don't you think? Please forgive me for making you suffer through it too.


Nowhere to go but up from here!
