Default This weather SUCKS

raining ice pellets -- the sidewalk is a slurry of grey snow, black ice and garbage. The kids are going stir crazy from their 14th snow day and I can't ride my bike. ARGH.

Default cabin fever can have strange effects

Actually contemplated trading in my '02 allroad for new fully loaded maxima, until I came to my senses :-)

I have long commute so I was legitimately concerned about longevity in the allroad but its been great so far: 30K

Default It may get you in to trouble (with wife and set a bad example for the kids) But I ride the Mt bike

around the house, it's been some time since I could trial up the stairs but I can still go down them, an make the turn around the island in the ketchen, oh and bunny hop on to the fireplace harth. I would ride in the garage but it I fell over and scrached the ar? No one is home now time to ride.
