  Boy, it must be nice to live in an area where spring arrives so early and winters are mild.
  Here in central Ontario Canada still a few piles of snow, dreary grey lawns covered in matted leaves and dirt. Today it is actually going to 50F and sunny! Get out my 3 store bought and two homebuilt recumbents. Got to ride them all today while the going’s good.
  Thanks for excellent pictures and articles.

  I am so jealous, Alan. I had a pleasant commute this morning, but it’s now 30 degrees with snow on the way.

  Tom,

  Just think about me in July when you’re having beautiful weather and we’re experiencing 105F… :-)

  Spring snow for us in Montana! Of course that is likely because I took the studded tires off over the weekend and now the roads are too slick to ride and covered in several inches of snow!

  Here in Seattle we had full sun and 50 degrees, rain, sleet, and snow, all in an 8 hour period yesterday. It definitely made for an “interesting” commute!

  Alan-
  I think this is the 10th time (at least) you’ve had to remind all us miserable non-Californians that while we suffer through our winters, you suffer through your summers.
  I think you’ll need a few posts this summer of sweaty, hot, unhappy commuters – beautifully photographed, of course – to prove your point! ;)

  No matter how I say this it’s going to come out wrong now, but here it goes: You have a lot of interesting things on your rear end. Is that a backpack-style pannier too?

  @Jim

  That’s an Arkel Bug, convertible backpack/pannier. It’s been my goto commuting bag for a few years now.
