    Default The simple things

    A -4 degree C day. Riding to work as fast as possible, having a hot shower then changing into the freezing cold boxer shorts you had in your bag.

    Getting up before the kids, filling the coffee cup, wiping yesterday's grit off the bike while listening to the radio.

    Feeling good enough to go for an hour walk AND it's a beautiful unseasonably warm day on top of it.

    - Being able to push your arm warmers down to your wrists on a ride home from work. In February.
    - Keeping a French press mug and a bag of Peets at your desk so you don’t have to start your day with the office swill.
    - The 3-inch thick NY Times landing on your front steps with a ‘thud’ on Sunday mornings.
