Donald i'm with you on this one. here is my current bicycle line up. Raleigh mountain bike converted to single speed. Giant Butte built for ice biking and general winter riding. Schwinn three speed for summer cruising. Specialized Allez road bike, for going fast in the summer. I don't drive in the winter so as to prevent my vanagon and scirocco from ever seeing the salt of the midwest. although my current job is closer i have biked 11 miles each way to work in the winter to save my vw collection and a little bit of the environment. jonathan On Mon, 10 Feb 2003, Donald Baxter wrote: > How about bicycling? > > To compensate, I have a 1998 Jamis Coda (bicycle) and a pair of feet and > I now live in a town it's possible to walk many places when it's not > bitterly cold (and even sometimes when it is).
