Every few weeks during the winter, I've spotted someone, against all logic, riding a damn bike. Every time, there's been some reason I can't provide proof - usually that reason is my deep-seated desire to not crash my car, since I tend to be driving at the time.
But! Even when I'm driving I must occasionally stop at a red light. This week I stopped at a red light, and this mad biking fool rode across the street in front of me. Heading down the highway to Wilson, I might add, which is a solid 40 minute ride at least, with no consistent bike path.
The roads are much better than they were even a week ago. However, the unpictured bike lanes often are not. In fact, they're usually worse because the snow is mostly gone and the ice is mostly not.
And for those of you who are wondering what those white specks are all over the picture...it's definitely snowing. If memory serves, it was something like 20 degrees out at the time. After a Jackson winter, that can seem warm, but I still wouldn't want to create my own wind chill.
So yeah - we get a different breed of biker here. One that's nuts.
On the plus side, spring is coming a little more every day, and if I can't ski, I darn well want to bike. So fingers crossed everyone!
