got up to 43 today so I went out for a ride. I'm particularly cautious
this time of year since people don't even think about motorcycles being
in traffic in February...


I'd also worry about black ice.

Busted my butt once on a 40-ish morning riding my MTB into the shadow of
a building where the off-camber wet blacktop wasn't wet any more.


A long time ago we hit black ice turning into a restaurant parking lot.
There was a puddle at the entrance where cars had spread out the water
and it turned into black ice. We didn't see it in time and ended up
sliding into the curb and bending our front axle.
