So good to hear you got out there. Even though you fell, now you have a

Nah, you're supposed to have enough pemmican to get you through the winter.
Grin.
Though I run barefoot 6-8 months out of the year without a scratch, when
conditions are too cold, my feet go dumb (not a typo, they aren't numb) and
I bash them into things because things aren't working properly.
I'm from Atlanta, GA originally. What do I know about snow except you're
supposed to go to the grocery store for milk and bread before it hits? ;-)

In a fit of inspiration? stupidity? I decided to try to ride my bike to

10cm/4in of snow fall overnight, and I soon grew weary of waiting for a cab

Good Luck, Cecily. Surely that Betty Foy is meant to be, and though the
healing may be hard, my hope is that you and your medical team will make
it happen so you can ride your Betty again. It's hard for a bike lover to
be off the bike.
Merry Christmas and a healthier New Year

Thank you, Tom. Over the last 10 years my medical team and I have tried
everything. I lost -- and regained -- weight so many times, I've decided
it's one battle I'm not going fight. Besides: fat ladies don't get
wrinkles. ;-)

Dearest Cecily,
I am adding you to my prayers for recovery, restoration, revitalization,
and resumption of you use of Betty Foy. Stop the self punishment and
recrimination right now.
I am no expert on medical, diet or any other therapy for this, but there
are some good comments in here.

Get well soon, Cecily!

Hoping you have more better days than bad (something we all have to varying
degrees). It makes us appreciative of the days when we CAN ride our
bikes... sustaining us through the not-so-good days when we can at least
replay in our minds the great rides we've had.
Wishing you improving health,

don't worry, Jesus wasn't religious, either, nor is punishment his style -
we too often wish it was. Healing is, though. All the best.

"Part of me feels like it's punishment for buying such an expensive bike in

Owning/riding/buying a bicycle is one of the kindest things a human-being
can do. For themself, for society and for so many good reasons. There is
no punishment for having "such an expensive bicycle".
That is sad & we all wish you the best. On a hopeful note, cycling is
generally good for the knees as it promotes blood flow & lubrication as
long as the loads are kept moderate. I have one abused knee that used to
get stiff & sore, but after retirement and cycling nearly every day it

This is the first fall/winter it's been this bad. This is a completely new
experience for me. Any day that it's physically possible to be back on the
bike, you can bet I will be.
Thanks for the well wishes, Don.

I wish you the best. Hang in there.
I suffer from osteoarthritis, neck and back, and cold weather is difficult.
On the other hand, when the temps hover near 60 and above, I feel like a

alternatives, but don't give up t
