Last week I poured lukewarm water over the tires of my bicycle. l had stupidly left it outside, propped up against the house on the north side, the last place where the snow will melt and the ground unfreeze. One of my friends, with a more dismal outlook than some, predicted my tires would be wrecked. She said I would have to get new ones. But, she was wrong. Not only were the tires intact but they didn't need pumping up either.
I went for a second bike ride today, stopped off at the movie store, the health food store and the post office. It is warmish but I still had to wear a polertec hat under my helmet, windproof gloves, windproof jacket, tights and wool socks.
By the way there was no snow on the road.
