Cannot understand how the left-hand traffic could ever be "right"Indeed and he was "right"
Yes, I know, that was to confuse Bonaparte in case of possible invasion... 
You don't have to draw your sword while riding lately ?Cannot understand how the left-hand traffic could ever be "right"
Reasons for abandoning an ebike ride and taking a taxi or train home:
Picture me pretty shocked that we got snow overnight!!!! Still only 33F (which is pretty close to ZERO C) at 2:30pm. Went to Costco instead of even thinking of a bicycle. Well, I did think and quickly discarded the notion.Gorgeous, sunny day, but baby it was COLD outside! I should have bought that dang balaclava - my face was numb halfway through the ride. And, though I didn't quite have popsicle toes by the end, I was close! Around town, my neoprene-lined plastic garden shoes have been keeping my feet warm:

Today I should have paired them with my electric socks.
Cold aside, it was a FABulously beautiful ride, though!

See those little white points out in the water? That's a SAILING class! Hope they were all wearing wet suits!

Here's the ride:

Normally we'd ride out past Joseph Whidbey Park Beach before looping back to town, but the headwind was brutal, and, as mentioned, face was numb. So, we took a shortcut dirt and gravel trail that, halfway through, has a "No Bikes" posting. It was just so cold we decided to ride slowly through, and were caught by the farmer on a 4-wheeler at the end (the trail goes through his property). He was not happy, but we explained that at the trailhead at the road, there was no signage prohibiting bikes, and we promised never to ride there again! He was mollified... Kind of. We really will NEVER ride through again, because I'm buying that damn balaclava!!!

Oh, kind of like when we cross-country skied pulling sleds through Yellowstone. My sled would veer off to the side and find every tree-well or tree trunk. Had to get use to more clearance!Back when I rode 'adventure' bikes I did some touring with fairly large rear boxes. I was constantly pulling up to talk to a fellow rider and banging my boxes into his boxes. Took many whacks to get the habit of NOT doing that worked into my grey matter.
Edit: Figures CR would take his family running around rough rooted twisty tree festooned trails pulling a kiddie trailer ... with toddler.
Right!
To be damaged by a fallen tree...
That would be Mah-ryah in Polish
I admit to using my (ICE) to clean my short road…you lady are absolutely off the chain. I bow down
