It's Still Winter in Alberta

A lot of snow has been falling in the past 24 hours.  And, although it may be nice to look at, snow is not condusive to the sport of bicycling. 

...unless you're Bruce, in which case cold weather and impassable trails are merely laughable obstacles.  Bruce owns a Surly Pugsley, which means that he can bike in even the most adverse conditions.

Bruce was even overheard bragging yesterday that this bike allowed him to reach his maximum heart rate while only moving at 12 kilometres per hour!  Having ridden this bike myself on one memorable occasion, I can easily believe it.  The bike weighs, like, 900 lbs or something ridiculous like that.  It also has no front shock, so riding it feels like being in a blender.  Nonetheless, Bruce loves it.  The Pugsley can go places that other bikes just can't, given that the rider has the strength to propel it there (and Bruce does).

Personally, I think I'll just wait for the blizzard to pass before trying to get out on a real bicycle again.  To the gym!
