Today being Chinese New Year's day, I decided to post on my new year's resolution - bike to work as much as possible. I've posted on this goal in the past (1, 2, 3), and I can honestly say I've fallen well short. This year I am really going to do it. I even bought some new old lights for my cruiser. Powered by me, the rear light has an old-school schwinn generator that powers it and the front lamp. Works like a charm unless I stop so I put a flashing LED light on back too.
So far not great. Between the bitter cold, snow, high winds and random errands/appointments - I've only managed to bike a handful of times this year. Hopefully change is coming soon.

I applaud your willingness to give yourself this challenge in the dead, cold, middle of winter. I say, if you get the bike to and from work ONCE in the next two weeks, you will have met your challenge with great success. Nice pics as well.
Obama is president. Change is here! Si se puede!
Gracias Senors!
I biked it today. The temp was 7F, but fortunately there was little to no wind. My face was very cold at first, but warmed up after 5-10 minutes. I think the frosty beard helped with that. They clear the trails here, but there is still a uneven packed layer most places that really slowed me down.
