All Talk, No Action

No! I’m not referring to voting. That’s a whole different topic. I’m all about that kind of action. Luckily, I voted early, my attempt at avoid the long, long, lines.

I’m referring to riding my bike in inclement weather. Oh the ironies of life. Yesterday, I write about how my bike is ready for fall weather. Then today it rains, not just a little rain, but a lot of rain, especially by Utah standards. (Remember I live in a desert. So it doesn’t take a lot of rain to make me think everything is going to float way, including me on my bike.) Faced with the rain, do I buck up and get on my bike? No, I totally wimped out. I took the bus. It’s so much easier to let someone else drive through huge puddles while I sit back and listen to my iPod. And tomorrow? Well the rain should turn into snow. I haven’t decided how I feel about cycling in snow. I guess I’ll decide tomorrow morning. On the upside, the forecast for Thursday looks promising.

And in the name of change, get out and vote!
