I was able to knock icicles off of trees while riding up to the bank. Danielle and I are going to meet up with my parents, grandparents, and a bunch of other family members at a church fish fry tonight, so I needed some cash to pay for fish and chips.<\/p>\n
I found that:<\/p>\n
– Riding to the bank takes the same amount of time, even when I have to wait at 23 and Schoenherr for the lights. (Likely because making the left turn to the bank takes two or three light changes in a car, and one on a bike.)
\n– It’s funny to ride past long rows of backed up cars.
\n– The ATM isn’t very viewable from a standing position, likely because of a polarizer to make the display more viewable in sunlight.
\n– Being on a bike puts your head at head level of as a typical mid-size SUV driver. This is good for making eye contact.<\/p>\n
I’m contemplating getting a skull cap and something to keep my ears warm while riding, but that costs money and I don’t think (hope?) that the sub-40F cold will last much longer.<\/p>\n
