Be Nice, It's Snowing!

Today is a Winter Weather Advisory in Wisconsin, and although the snow has only just started people are driving their cars like ambulances (minus the lights and sirens).  Everyone needs to slow down, give plenty of room to others, and be respectful to others!   For those of you who don't know, bicycles are considered vehicles in Wisconsin.  Driving a bicyclist off a roadway is just as illegal as doing it to another car.

The Snow is Coming!

I can't wait to get out in the white, fluffy stuff tomorrow.  I am so happy!

Here's a couple photos of my bike (new tires, new helmet - thanks to my mom and South Dakota aunties Jane and Bev for the Christmas and Birthday money!).

Here's a good link to information on Winter biking and safety.  Have fun everyone!

Madison Bike Winter Article in Silent Sports

I just got a hold of some new winter tires (Nokian Hakkapelita W240's) from
my mom - an early birthday present - and can't wait for the snow to really
fly here in the upper Midwest. Madison Bike Winter has a bunch of events
planned, so I encourage you to check them out if you haven't already. Ride
safe!
