Waiting and Waiting to Get Back to It

Hello all,

Sorry the posts have been sparse as of late.  First, it was the holidays, then I got ill with some sort of flu (I think of the swine variety), and lastly, we've seen negative temps in the morning.

I promise to get back on the bike soon. I won't let you down.  Until then you can read about good news in bikes:

Good job guys.

Don't trust anyone over 30

A nice chill hung in the air this morning, but that was all. I had looked forward to the 1-3 inches of snow predicted by the local Viper 1,000,000 2.0 Weather Radar Doppler Genius.  The temp hovered just above the 30 mark, but it didn't stop at least one jogger from donning shorts.

Kudos to him.  I was cold.  So I went full on Bike Ninja and covered up from head to toe. 

It is hump day, so get out there and hump!

A day like many more to come

It was a bit chilly this morning but dry even after yesterday's THUNDER SNOW. I saw a coworker standing at the bus stop stomping around for warmth. This same coworker had inquired about bicycles this summer, and he ended up purchasing an old 10-speed.  But by the looks of it, he took up smoking instead.

Ya win some, ya lose some.  At least he was utilizing public transportation. 

As you can see from the picture below (or not because i am soooo fast), the Occupy Omaha peeps have not been forced to Elmood Park yet.
