You need to dust off that bike and get on the road! :lol: 49.gif
Hopefully you'll have good weather soon.

In what seems like a whole different life time I used to do a lot of bicycling.
I used to commute 30 miles a day March to whenever winter really set in, founding member of the local bicycle club, and did several weeklong bicycle camping tours with my sons when they were in their teens. All road riding as I've never had a desire to get into the mountain bike thing.
I've still got 2 bikes down the basement, a Dawes touring bike and a Trek Hybrid. I still occasionally take the Trek out and tool around town, but that's about it. The Dawes hasn't seen the light of day in years

Anyone remember the paper route kid in Better Off Dead riding his bike on skies? I guest that is one way to go biking in the winter.

You'd be surprised how much faster you are on a road bike.

It's my gear system. I only have two chain rings as compared to your three.

Yep, but it was ugly with lots of long hills. I don't know how, but I managed to average 13 mph over 15 miles. I stopped to rest 5 times! Lol!

I really need to get my bike out now that the weather is warming up (and hopefully staying warmer). Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of a city with a mountain bike and almost no terrain suitable (i.e. fun) to really take my bike out on.

I've never been mountain biking, I'm not sure I could do it. You must have great bike skills, Ewok.

I took a pedal today. Around a 14 miler I think as my odometer quit on me. I had to make up for the beer I drank and french fries I ate yesterday at the St. Patty's Patio'party.

Your right TrafficJam. I think I'll have some time on my days off this week. Maybe I'll accompany my wife to work, she rides or walks there, and then do a few miles by myself after.

Well, my days off came and went and I didn't even have time to think about riding.
Oh well, maybe tomorrow, I should have a little time.

Inspiration for you... This was shot in my home town, Orlando... Mike is my kid brother, Doug rode for La Nuba... Friday nights we did an urban ride outta Orange cycles called "Fatty's and 40's" neither referring to weight nor age, but I digress :silly:
