Post a Comment On: A Nod to Nothing

I think my resolution for 2006 is not to be sick. I am fully put out over being ill. I was ill after my trip to Arizona, and starting Thursday I was ill again and am still ill, but this time with the flu not some bacterium. Hacking, fever, chills, sweating, steam baths to relieve sinuses on top of several kinds of various sinus/flu drugs, headache, aching joints and back, all so bad that I only had two hours of sleep on Thursday and Friday, all while trying to go through the motions of acting normally on a long weekend. As for any resolutions about riding my trainer more...right out the damn window until I can breathe enough not to be dizzy and winded just sitting still.

So, if I can't bike, I bring you a few biking links:
First, MNSpeak brings us a link (oh my, ice fishing podcasts too) to a Pulse article on winter cycling, complete with winter anatomy of a (winter) cyclist and advice on bringing appropriate gear to de-ice your lock.The City Pages/Blotter blogger of the day on 12/30 was Sascha of First and Last and Always, full of winter cycling advice and links to other local cyclists.Boing Boing presents the amazing sideways bike of Dublin.Smithers, another local cyclist blogger, is only fatty, not a tub o goo, since having a child. He has many links to other bicycling bloggers and news and...he reads Norwegianity, Yowling from the Fencepost and Jack Pine Savage. Liberal bike blogging, hopefully with an ale at hand...that's the life.My sister bikes in the winter - based on her snowman, it has affected her brain.
