As a young man, I comuted year round by bike. (10 miles one way). Some of you Yankees might think big woop, but when it is raining on a dreary Feburary morning and you are soaked to the skin by the time you make it to the mailbox, you really develope a good out look on life. I like being in touch with the plant I'm living on.
Can I brag on my kid brother? He got into biking about the time I was getting out of it. He races on and off road. Few years back when he was living in Valdosta (South GA, right near the FLA line) he flew out to Colorado for a race. He won a hill climb (off road, starting at 8000 feet, going up to 10,000 feet. He trained at sea level. I was impressed.
