I'm just too nervous that a car will skid into me. It's a surprisingly small amount of time that I can't ride regularly, even up here in Boston.cyclerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331461189944538729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-48425773824880209172009-10-21T00:58:45.888-04:002009-10-21T00:58:45.888-04:00I am really nervous about the snow.

I biked through a bit of the spring melt but had problems in some late afternoon refreezing snow mounds on my way back home from work for weeks until it was all gone.She Rides a Bikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269615938898501712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356723782465446786.post-8193746164608351542009-10-20T19:09:08.965-04:002009-10-20T19:09:08.965-04:00I love Portland ME; we lived there for a bit and s...I love Portland ME; we lived there for a bit and still visit occasionally. But yes, not a whole lot of jobs in that area, regardless of industry really. <br /><br />Sour dough bread is one of my favourites, but I would not have the patience for making it - would no doubt poison everyone with that scary "starter" business!<br /><br />Re the quality of the reflective coat - could you reinforce the lining somehow? I've done this on badly sewn clothing.Velouriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359329171411037482noreply@blogger.com
