Mine was lovely. Moderate temperatures, no heavy traffic and no rude drivers. The perfect way to clear my head with fresh air and exercise.
What about yours?

3. i think the word that he would have been looking for is "frost-bitening" |

It's 15 degrees here, too, so i can commiserate with him.
After a 10 minute walk from the PRT station to the comp lab, i couldn't feel my cheeks or nose.

I love to ride to work, but can't ride home just yet because it's dark. By next week I can though.

7. A grueling two miles :) |
|
I rarely have to ride at night but when I do I have a halogen lamp that attaches to my helmet so it's always pointed in the direction where I'm looking. It works quite well.

I've got a good light too, but it's a very busy highway and I don't like the nighttime ride. Too many drunks in these parts.

I do plan on going to the store on my bike for beer in a couple hours. That will be about three miles.

9. No bike. I read on my way to work. |
|
Via bus & train. (Yes, Virginia--Houston does have mass transit.)
Currently, I'm working my way through one of the Flashman novels...

10. I walked to work today. It was cold and blustery out. |
|
My walk was from my bedroom to the home office, less than thirty feet. It was great.

A little over 3 miles, no sidewalks between the 1st and 3rd mile(there is a path next to a creek though), somewhere in the high teens with a wind chill of something like 0. Hopefully I'll be able to do it again tomorrow morning and afternoon when it's snowing.
